T2 2025 - Digital Modelling, 3D Printing

Course Outline

Course Outline Introduction to Digital Modelling, 3D Printing, and Laser Cutting This comprehensive course introduces adults to the exciting possibilities of digital design and fabrication. Participants will gain hands-on experience with CAD software, laser cutting, 3D modelling, and 3D printing, as well as explore creative applications in kinetic art and techno-art. The program combines technical skill-building with opportunities for creative prototyping and artistic expression. Course Objectives: • Develop foundational skills in CAD design using industry-standard software. • Learn the basics of laser cutting and 3D printing through practical, hands-on sessions. • Explore the integration of AI tools for digital modelling and design. • Apply digital fabrication techniques to create innovative projects in art and design. Course Schedule: Week 1: Introduction to CAD Design Week 2: Laser Cutting Basics Week 3: Basics of 3D Modelling Week 4: 3D Printing Essentials Week 5: Creative Prototyping and Project Activities Week 6: Kinetic Art and Modern Techno-Art Practices Key Features of the Program: • Duration: 6 sessions (2 hours each). • Mode: Hands-on, interactive workshops. • Resources Provided: Access to design software, Emblaser 2 laser cutter, Flashforge 3D printers, and materials. • Target Audience: Adults with basic computer skills interested in exploring digital design, fabrication, and artistic expression. By the end of this course, participants will have a well-rounded understanding of digital modelling, laser cutting, and 3D printing, along with the ability to create functional and artistic projects that blend technology and creativity. Recommendations: Students are encouraged to bring a USB/memory stick for storing tutorial videos, presentations, 3D models, slicing files, and other data. Windows desktops equipped with 3D design software and three 3D printers with basic filaments will be available in the classroom. Students may also bring their own devices (laptops) and additional/special filament for modelling and printing practice.
