Course handbook
Description
This course introduces students to the techniques and processes used in the creation of 3D objects, models and artworks for a wide range of applications in the creative industries including animation, film, art and design. Students will design and make objects using production processes and techniques such as 3D printing, digital modelling and the application of digital techniques to traditional materials. The course will develop foundational skills in designing for rapid prototyping and the creative application of digital fabrication technologies such as laser cutting, CNC machining and/or 3D printing to contemporary object making.
