Availabilities:
2024 unit offering information will be available in November 2023
Unit description
Introduces the practical aspects of making small 3D printed objects in a workshop, embracing workshop practices, modelling techniques and using manual or semi-automated tools. Students undertake programmed exercises in model making including three-dimensional form development, and gain an understanding of the physical and chemical properties of modelling materials, laser cutting and CNC routing.
Unit content
- Understanding basic software for design fabrication
- Design, scanning, printing, cutting
- Component design
- Production methods
Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | demonstrate a knowledge of the range of modelling types and their applications |
| 2 | develop skills to be able to produce simple models of objects in the workshop |
| 3 | demonstrate understanding of occupational health and safety policy requirements of the model making workshop environment and be able to demonstrate safe working practices on a selected range of equipment |
| 4 | demonstrate understanding of basic fabrication in 3d printing, laser cutting and CNC routing. |
