Learning outcomes |
The general objectives of this curricular unit are the following:
1) provide students with effective 3D modeling skills and abilities in parametric and subdivision CAD systems;
2) provide students with effective skills and abilities to manufacture real objects by 3D printing from virtual models.
Regarding the specific objectives, and at the end of the semester, students should be able to:
1) explain what makes 3D printing unique from other traditional manufacturing methods and what its current benefits and limitations are;
2) access the resources (e.g., software, documentation, etc.) needed to 3D print an object;
3) open, view, manipulate and edit 3D object files;
4) create new 3D object files from scratch;
5) prepare and optimize these files for 3D printing;
6) choose and use the most suitable CAD program according to the requirements of the object to be modeled.
