Course Objectives: | This course aims developing the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge for building three-dimensional models. Materials, model making processes, and prototype building techniques are discussed and practiced in order to introduce product models as a tool for communicating and presenting design ideas. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Develop abilities necessary for reading drawings, planning and instructing model making processes 2. Identify model making materials 3. Define model making techniques, tools, and machines 4. Relate to new model making techniques 5. Relate rapid prototyping machines with their model outcome 6. Define molding and reproduction techniques in model making 7. Analyze painting, surface quality, surface printing, and screen printing techniques 8-Explore work of 3D practitioners through research into historic and contemporary contexts |
A laboratory course introducing a range of materials, methods, and workshop techniques by which designers build three-dimensional models and prototypes. Basic competence in shop techniques is established by bringing to realization a series of simple artifacts. In addition to cardboard, foamcoare, polymer foam, wood, plastic, and acrylic materials, the course also covers surface treatment and painting techniques. |
