3D Modeling for Inventive Design

I'm Interested

About

This course focuses on 3D modeling and 3D printing for inventive design, including concept vehicles (Automobiles, Sci-Fi, & Fantasy) and equipment (products, tools, gear) for fictional characters of your creation: an explorer on a distant world, a warrior from a different time, or an adventurer in uncharted territory.

For students focused on industrial design, animation or game design, 3D modeling is essential in developing and translating ideas for industry applications. You'll be introduced to 3D digital modeling, which employs a surface modeling approach using Fusion 360 software to create projects. Through creative storytelling, you’ll develop the skills needed for realistic applications: concept development, drafting, presenting, and bringing your 2D ideas to 3-dimensional life.

Course content will provide a foundation in 3D modeling and 3D printing, while challenging your understanding of function with awareness of form, color, texture, line, and ergonomics. The course will conclude with your personal project presentation, complete with concept sketches and renderings of the final design.

This program is intended for ages 14 to 18.
