Authorised Autodesk Training
The Swinburne Centre for Engineering Technology is a
high technology training and development centre. Its aim is
to integrate the specialist disciplines of Computer Aided
Drafting and Computer Aided Manufacturing within
Swinburne, specialising in developing and conducting short
courses in AutoCAD and CAD/CAM.
The Centre offers onsite training, consultancy and
special prototype machining projects and development and
sales of CAMPAC CAM software to industry and
educational institutions.
Services to industry involve:
training
consulting
research and development projects
prototype development.
Current offerings in short courses:
CAD Skills
An introductory course designed to upgrade people's skills
to operate a Computer Aided Drafting software package to
a level of proficiency.
CAD Skills 2
A course designed for participants wishing to continue on
from CAD Skills 1 and for participants who have a general
knowledge of AutoCAD and require additional training.
Advanced CAD
Specialises in 3D drafting and solid modelling.
CAD Programming

CAMPAC
CAMPAC is a proven CAD/CAM software package used
in Australian manufacturing industries for producing
components from AutoCAD drawings.
It is a CAM package which combines cutter path
generation, program editing and communications all
accessed from inside AutoCAD. The package was designed
at the Centre to allow the operator to follow a sequence of
simple, logical steps, to quickly the CNC machine
driving instructions.
CAMPAC is a commercially available package.
