In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.  

This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
This unit standard will be useful for persons who are required to demonstrate the knowledge and skill to reflect the instructions into graphic images using 3D modelling.

People credited with this unit standard are able to:
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the CAD user interface features and the modelling environment.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of commands in order to develop a basic graphic object.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of commands and procedures to develop basic 3D models.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of file formats, model analysis and rendering.

    The skills, knowledge and understanding demonstrated within this unit standard are essential for social and economic transformation and contribute to the upliftment and economic growth of the mining and minerals sector.

    This unit standard is intended to promote general skills, knowledge and understanding of using a 3D computer programme as a design- tool to produce drawings to specifications in the jewellery manufacture process in order to ensure knowledgeable and informed workers.
