With a focus on boosting productivity in the manufacturing sector, Generative CAD<\/a> has designed and delivered a programme to address technical know-how and hands-on skills. Nigeria has typically struggled to meet emerging skills demands associated with new developments in the sector.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generative CAD recognised an increasing need to equip existing mechanical engineering and electrical\/electronic engineering professionals, or those hoping to transition into these fields, with skills to capitalise upon recent developments in the industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delivered in collaboration with American Corner Ikeja-Lagos<\/a>, the five-day manufacturing workshop on design and digital manufacturing saw 36 participants trained using Autodesk Fusion 360.\u00a0 The workshop focused on equipping the participants with the necessary skills to navigate today\u2019s dynamic manufacturing industry.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe know that for the manufacturing sector across Nigeria to be productive and effective, it needs to make the most of what digital technologies can offer.\u00a0 Our nation\u2019s existing and new engineers need the skills and confidence to master what\u2019s coming down the line.\u00a0 This means that there\u2019s a need to not only up-skill but to also future-skill.\u00a0<\/p>

We recognise there\u2019s a need to deliver training which helps existing and future engineers to develop the practical skills and know-how they need in the workplace.\u00a0 This programme offered them the opportunity to work in teams to develop and model real-world projects.\u00a0 Along the way they developed digital manufacturing skills such as design for manufacturing and 3d printing.\u00a0<\/p>

All participants were really positive about the workshops.\u00a0 I\u2019m confident that this collaboration has given them a solid foundation for developing their careers in the manufacturing sector.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>Chukwubuikem Felix Amaefule, CEO of Generative CAD<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The workshops sessions covered future of work for product designers, introduction to Fusion 360, as well as hands-on digital manufacturing skills such as design for manufacturing and 3d printing. They had the opportunity to work in teams to develop projects and went on to model real world products such as a phone stand and office tabletop stand. These models were also used to illustrate additive and subtractive manufacturing design considerations, understand slicing for 3D printing and product development from design to the first prototype.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generative design was also covered.  Participants learnt about new ways of designing and optimising components exploring options and comparing different results.  This allowed them to consider their preferred manufacturing method.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
