Course Objectives
This course provides the fundamentals of digital 3d modelling and introduces different modelling approaches that students learn to apply through tutorials and projects. The overall aim, apart from teaching the tools and discussing different approaches, is to place these tools and approaches within the design process to stress the interaction of these digital means with other elements of design processes.
Course Content
Digital modelling tools for the design, presentation and fabrication of 3D objects. Different modelling approaches; solid and polygonal modelling; NURBS and surface modelling, freeform modelling; parametric modeling tools. Role and integration of digital tools in industrial design processes. Digital modeling considerations and tools for 2D representations, rapid prototyping, fabrication.
Course Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course the students will be able to:
- individually manage computer design processes
- make design considerations based on 3d modelling techniques and approaches
- define modelling strategies for product design
- distinguish and apply different modelling techniques
- model multiple part assemblies
- 3d model towards fabrication and physical prototyping
