Digital Modeling: 3D Form and Fabrication

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

MATERIALS FEE. Digital Surface Modeling is a beginner-to-intermediate level course focused on fundamental approaches to creating 3-dimensional geometry in CAD (Computer Aided Design) software for communicating design intent. The course explores essential elements of design, such as ergonomics, material selection, and manufacturing approaches, while practicing foundational skills in creating surface geometry. While core CAD skills will be the primary focus throughout the semester, we’ll also explore and discuss the value that surfacing brings to product development through a series of lectures, course discussions, and minor assignments.
