CAD-A-THON is a time-bound CAD modelling and validation competition designed to simulate real-world product development. Participants will be given a problem statement at the start of the event and must: ● Design using CAD tools ● Validate using basic engineering principles ● Present a feasible and optimized solution The focus is on engineering logic, aerodynamic efficiency, and manufacturability, rather than just visual modelling.
