| MAAD 2B36 Jewellery/Metalsmithing: CAD/CAM 0.50 Credit(s) Studio |
|
| Prerequisite: MAAD 2B29 Jewellery/Metalsmithing: Fabrication 2 and 3.0 first year studio and 1.0 first year liberal studies credits (including the Writing course with a passing grade of 60%) |
|
| This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of designing, prototyping and fabricating small-scale products and jewellery using three dimensional computer modelling and associated manufacturing technologies. Students will become familiar with the Computer Aided Design operations required to generate simple three-dimensional computer models and output basic two dimensional representations. These virtual objects will be then translated into prototypes and finished objects using Computer Aided Manufacturing processes (e.g. laser cutting, additive manufacturing and CNC machining) as well as conventional fabrication processes. Students will begin to understand some of the advantages and limitations of CAD/CAM technologies, and thus consider the implications these technologies have on the future of design practice. |
