Course Objectives
At the end of the course, students are expected to;
- gain knowledge about digital modelling and fabrication methods (waffle technique, slice technique, CNC model and 3D printer),
- acquire ability to produce polysurfaces and solid models,
- acquire digital and physical models of a designed object by applying the methods and the tools introduced during the course,
- gain knowledge in making transitions between digital and physical models, and
- gain knowledge about the fabrication methods to product physical models during design process as an industrial designer.
Course Content
Introduction to digital modelling, surface modelling and fabrication methods. Exercises of surface
modelling with different methods to build solid model and review of fabrication methods to prepare
physical models. Applications of these fabrication methods with the tools, which are introduced to the
students, to gain experience in fabrication in order to use during product development process, Review of
document preparation for fabrication in smali-scale industry by showing reallife project examples.
Course Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, students will be able to;
- describe digital modelling methods and and fabrication methods (waffle technique, slice technique, CNC model and 3D printer),
- generate solid models by building surfaces and polysurfaces,
- generate physical mock-ups and models by applying the fabrication methods,
- make transitions between digital and physical models by applying the methods of digital modelling and fabrication.
