Fulcrum Creative School's Mechanical Design course in Coimbatore is a hands-on programme for people who want to work in mechanical CAD. Over 4 months and 150+ hours you move from engineering drawing and AutoCAD to GD&T, 3D modelling, sheet metal, surfaces, simulation and AI-assisted design. Coimbatore has a large base of pump, textile machinery, automotive component and engineering units, and trained CAD skills help you stand out. We teach in Tamil and English, in classroom and live online batches.
Coimbatore is a major engineering hub. These are the industries where drawing, 3D modelling, simulation and design skills are used.
Design brackets, housings, panels and fixtures for vehicle component makers.
Model pump bodies, impellers, frames and assemblies for Coimbatore machine builders.
Design machine structures, guards and mechanisms for textile and SPM builders.
Create fixtures, jigs, dies and press tools for precision engineering units.
Design castings with correct draft, wall thickness and machining allowance.
Develop enclosures, panels and welded frames with accurate flat patterns.
Design battery trays, housings and lightweight structures for electric mobility.
Model plastic housings, enclosures and appliance parts for manufacturing.
A 4-month, 150+ hour, project-based programme that takes you from engineering drawing to AutoCAD, GD&T, SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo, Ansys and an AI-ready design workflow, ending with a capstone product and portfolio. Tap a module to see every week.
Total duration is 4 months (150+ hours). The syllabus is reviewed each year and may be adjusted slightly to match the latest software versions and industry trends.
Learn the software used across manufacturing, automotive and engineering units, plus the AI tools that are changing early-stage design.
Many CAD centres in Coimbatore sell AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo and Ansys as separate courses. Here is what that costs you in time.

Answers about the Mechanical Design course at Fulcrum Creative School, Coimbatore
Fulcrum Creative School in Gandhipuram runs the most complete Mechanical Design course in Coimbatore. In one 4-month, 150+ hour programme you learn AutoCAD, GD&T, SolidWorks, CATIA V5, Creo, Ansys FEA and AI generative design in Fusion 360, where many institutes sell each software as a separate 1 to 4 month course. You build real machine-part and assembly projects for a GrabCAD portfolio and get placement support until you are placed. 8000+ Fulcrum students have been placed since 2014. Classes are in Tamil and English, with a free demo class.
One complete course is usually faster and cheaper. Learning each tool separately in Coimbatore typically takes 1 month for AutoCAD, 2 to 4 months for SolidWorks, 2 to 3 months each for CATIA and Creo and 1 to 2 months for Ansys, about 8 to 13 months in total. Fulcrum's Mechanical Design course covers all of them, plus GD&T and AI design, in 4 months, in the order employers use them, with one portfolio at the end.
The Mechanical Design course is a 4-month programme of 150+ hours, organised into 9 modules over about 16 weeks. It covers engineering drawing, AutoCAD, GD&T, SolidWorks, CATIA V5, Creo, Ansys and an AI and generative design module.
The 2026 syllabus has 9 modules: engineering drawing and AutoCAD 2D, GD&T and tolerances, SolidWorks parts and assemblies, SolidWorks sheet metal and weldments, CATIA V5 surfaces and assemblies, Creo and design for manufacture, Ansys FEA, an AI and generative design workflow, and a portfolio and capstone module.
You learn AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA V5, Creo Parametric, Ansys and KeyShot, plus Fusion 360 generative design and cloud simulation tools such as SimScale for the AI module.
No. Mechanical, production and industrial engineering students and graduates, diploma and ITI holders, working engineers and career switchers can join. Basic drawing knowledge helps, and Module 1 teaches engineering drawing from the start.
Classes are available in Tamil and English, in classroom and live online batches.
Yes. Students build a GrabCAD and LinkedIn portfolio, practise mock technical interviews and CAD tests, and our team offers placement support and referrals until you are placed.
