Indicative Content |
Iterative Modelling for Form Generation
Through synthesis the design module learners will explore form and aesthetic through iterative modelling. This will build on previous foam modelling projects where finer details are explored and assessed.
|
Applied Ergonomics Modelling
In groups learners will plan, produce and assess ergonomic prototype models generated to answer questions in the design module. The model type will be governed by the focus of the design module
|
Industry Driven Representational Model
Learners will develop the skills and knowledge to source and acquire component parts that will increase the detail of final models. Learners will build on previous representational model and increase the focus on the detailing to lift the model to a professional standard. This model will be presented to a client (in line with design module) in a way that engages the client in the design on a 3D level.
|
Laser Cutting
Learners will be introduced to laser cutting as a tool to aid in the development of 3D modelling for design. Through lectures and practice based learning they will be walked through the good practice, running and maintenance of the laser cutter. Learners will be made aware of appropriate material use for the machine. Learners will engage in a applied project to allow them run through the process and deliver a product at the conclusion.
|
Workshop/Materials (Resource)
This is a dedicated space to allow learners to test, evaluate and represent the application of their research through 3D physical workshop made models. Resourcing of a workshop space include machinery, tools and materials. Materials such as modelling foam, MDF, Jelutong, Cardboard, foam board are all essential to investigation of developing a design solution.
|
Technician (Resource)
A dedicated design technician to support, demonstrate and maintain equipment while auditing and stocking of materials for the design workshop and studio practice
|
Laser Cutter (Resources)
A laser cutter for cutting acrylic, paper, card, wood & engraving of anodised alluminium.
