Overview

This unit introduces you to the use of 3D digital modelling software to explore the development, visualisation and production of objects. It will provide you with knowledge of how to build and manipulate digital models, using the following CAD (Computer Aided Design) software; Rhino (Rhinoceros 3D), MeshMixer & 3D Coat. In addition to 'first principle' modelling, there will be an introduction to the creation of digital models using 3D scanning and photogrammetry technology. You will also be exploring visualisation imaging using complimentary rendering software Vray, and will be producing physical outputs of your digital models utilising laser.
