Mechanical Engineering Design

Train on the CAD platforms industry actually uses

OCTACADD delivers specialized training and placement in mechanical engineering design — CAD fundamentals, customization through vendor APIs, and AI/ML for design automation. Training is subsidized through our downstream placement service — successful candidates are placed with mechanical-engineering companies and the software teams that serve them.

AutoCAD · SolidWorks · Inventor · Creo · CATIA · NX · Fusion 360

Training Tracks

Programs run from fundamentals to API-level customization to AI/ML integration — delivered instructor-led, self-paced, or as a customized engagement, with durations from 40 hours to 12 weeks.

CAD Core Training

Platform fundamentals through advanced modeling — 2D drafting, 3D parametric modeling, assemblies, and sheet-metal design, with certification paths such as Autodesk Certified Professional.

Typically 40–80 hours · instructor-led or self-paced

CAD Customization Training

API scripting, macros, and add-ins that extend CAD without touching vendor IP — VBA/LISP for AutoCAD, iLogic and APIs for Inventor/SolidWorks, and the Creo/NX/CATIA toolkits.

Project-based · 4–12 weeks

AI/ML for CAD Platforms

Generative design, predictive analysis, and automation — model training for stress prediction, topology optimization, and design-anomaly detection on SolidWorks and Fusion 360.

Hands-on labs · real datasets

Algorithm Implementation

Bridges theory to production — fillet repair, auto-dimensioning, smart fasteners, stress-hotspot detection, with platform tracks for NX/Creo, CATIA, and Inventor.

Validation & deployment included

Training that pays for itself

We subsidize the cost of training through our placement service, so the investment is recovered through efficiency gains and career outcomes — typically a 3–6 month ROI.

Built for co-development

Courses emphasize interoperability across vendors and protect vendor IP with black-box modules during customization — the way real SI and OEM teams work.

Placement, not just a certificate

Successful candidates are placed with mechanical-engineering firms and software companies serving the mechanical-engineering domain — with portfolios and certifications to back it up.
