ART 202 - Industrial Design: 3-Dimensional Printing for Mass Production

5 Credits

Throughout this course, students will actively engage in hands-on experimentation with 3-dimensional printing, delving into its pivotal role in mass production and Universal Design principles. We will critically examine the advantages and disadvantages of 3D printing in the context of serial production. Additionally, students will be acquainted with parametric design principles and the concept of mass customization. Lectures will also cover the intricacies of pattern creation for mold making and casting processes.
