Unit 10 - Computer aided design
During this unit you will learn how to and produce evidence of:
A) Development of 3D models in a 3D CAD package
B) Develop 2D Orthographic production drawings in a 2D CAD package
C) Development of photorealistic rendered images of 3D models

Assembiles, what they are and why they are used: 2X examples of CAD assemblies below
Below are a couple of examples of small assemblies done in 3D CAD there are also some Solidworks files for you to use to practise making a V-Block assembly.
