About This Course
Product Design and Development Course for Mechanical Engineers at CADD Mentors covers the end-to-end product development process — from design brief and concept generation through 3D CAD modelling, design for manufacturing and assembly (DFM/DFA), material selection and prototype evaluation, to final drawing documentation and product lifecycle handover. This course is designed for mechanical engineering students and working professionals who want to contribute to product development and NPD teams.
CADD Mentors provides this course from our HSR Layout centre in Bangalore. Online training is available for students and professionals across India.

Frequently Asked Questions - Product Design and Development Course
- Is Product Design training available in Bangalore at CADD Mentors?
- Yes. The Product Design and Development course is available from our HSR Layout centre in Bangalore. Classroom sessions are batch-based. Online training is also available.
- What CAD software is used in this course?
- The course primarily uses SolidWorks for 3D part and assembly modelling. AutoCAD is used for engineering drawings and KeyShot is introduced for product rendering. The focus is on applying CAD within a product development process rather than software operation alone.
- Is this course suitable for mechanical engineering freshers?
- Yes. The course is structured for final-year students and recent graduates who have basic mechanical engineering knowledge. No prior industry product design experience is required.
- How is this different from a regular SolidWorks course?
- A SolidWorks course teaches the software. This product design course uses SolidWorks as a tool while teaching the broader methodology: concept generation, DFM, DFA, material selection, prototyping and documentation — the process used in real product development teams.
- What is the duration of the Product Design course?
- The Product Design and Development course at CADD Mentors is approximately 60 hours.
- Can I learn Product Design online through CADD Mentors?
- Yes. Online delivery is available with live instructor-led sessions, project feedback and the same syllabus coverage as classroom training.
