Computer Modelling for Product Design

Course aim

To develop students' knowledge and skills using advanced 3-dimensional computer modelling for design development, advanced organic form creation, evaluation, documentation and communication.

Course content

Students will use leading software applications to develop communication techniques including technical drawings for manufacture of components and assemblies, visually interesting and appealing presentations including animations and renderings, methods for collaborating, sharing and disseminating drawings and presentations. Students will use the computer modeling skills to create a range of virtual computer models of high complexity with a high degree of accuracy and completeness.
