Course Description
Use 3D printing and scanning technologies, revolutionary CAD tools, simulation and visualization software to design and prototype new product ideas. Work with other engineers and designers in a collaborative maker space. Course coverage includes:
· Geometric modeling (parametric, direct, NURBS, and T-Splines)
· Rapid prototyping and 3D scanning
· Point cloud processing software with the ability to produce mesh, surface, and history-based CAD models from scan data
· Stress analysis and dynamic simulation for design engineers
· Concept design and visualization tools
· CAD/CAE operability issues
Both engineering and industrial design students may enroll for the course. The first half of the semester will focus on gaining familiarity with the tools. In the last half of the semester students from different disciplines collaborate to develop new products made with 3D printing technology. Prerequisite: GE 101 and GE 311.
