The tutorial is designed to introduce novice users of Pro/DESKTOP to fundamental CAD techniques by guiding the user through a Focused Practical Task. The Focused Practical Task describes how to create the Target Design of a simple compact camera. The process of designing the camera introduces the user to the basic solid modelling technique of Extrude Profile. The camera is limited to a circle and a rectangle as the building blocks of the Target Design. On completion of this first tutorial the user should be empowered to use their Pro/DESKTOP skills to explore their own creativity and develop individual variations of the camera design.

The second tutorial describes how to export the design created in Pro/DESKTOP into MiniCAM from Delcam and manufacture the model on Denford's Micromill 2000 CNC milling machine. The tutorials are designed to assist the teacher and student to satisfy the National Curriculum requirement for CAD/CAM and use this exciting technology as a creative design tool.
