NI myDAQ

The NI my-DAQ Student Data Acquisition Device combines a set of plug-and-play computer-based lab instruments with portability for hands-on student learning.

My-DAQ introduces students to engineering problem-solving with portable and programmable measurements designed for engaging, hands-on experimentation in or outside the lab.

Multisim

Multisim is industry standard SPICE simulation and designing electronic circuit’s software for analog, digital, and power electronics in education and research. Multisim integrates industry standard SPICE simulation with an interactive schematic environment to instantly visualize and analyze electronic circuit behavior.

MATLAB

MATLAB (matrix laboratory) is a fourth-generation high-level programming language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization and programming. MATLAB is developed by MathWorks

LabVIEW

Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) is a system-design platform and development environment for a visual programming language from National Instruments. LabVIEW is a programming environment in which you create programs using a graphical notation (connecting functional nodes via wires through which data flows).

Autocad Software

CAD stands for Computer-Aided Drafting and AutoCAD is the most popular brand of software utilized for CAD. Most people who have heard of AutoCAD usually think about drafters or architects drawing up blueprints for buildings on the computer. However, it has infinitely more uses than just drawing up blueprints. AutoCAD can be used to design anything and everything in detail and to scale.

AutoCAD is a 3D computer-assisted design software by Autodesk that’s created for manufacturing planning, product designing, building designing, construction, and civil engineering. More than making 3D models, AutoCAD is also used for drafts, documents, and 2D drawings. The 2D drawing, annotation features, and drafting allow users to customize texts, add dimension styles, tie in data from Microsoft Excel tables and spreadsheets to the drawings, and use dynamic blocks. On the side of 3D modeling and drawing, users can apply lighting and add materials to the models to produce real-life renditions and appearances. Edges, shading, and lighting can also be controlled for the models in AutoCAD. The app also allows users to look into the interior of their 3D creations. AutoCAD allows them to take data from PDF files to work with teammates as drawings and models are reviewed. Lastly, interface customization is also possible to make model editing faster and to organize the AutoCAD tools for easier access.

Various components of the basic AutoCAD screen are menu bar, drawing area, several toolbars, command window, model and layout tabs and status bar. The CAD model is designed or generated first and then it gets transferred in the suitable format to the Snapmaker to get the final product.

Main features of AutoCAD are:

3D View
Revisions and modifications
Speed
Accuracy
Storage & accessibility

3D Printer

3D printing is the modern manufacturing technique which reduces the waste to almost zero. The credit goes to additive manufacturing or 3D Printing. PLA or ABS filament is extruded in the desired temperature range and the product is manufactured by adding one layer over another.
