Aim

The aim for this course is to give the basic insights into the use of advanced computer aided tools for 3D product modelling. From a product idea a computerized model is made (product modelling) of a physical object by surface modeling, 3D scanning and printing. Product simulation gives an insight to the use of real time simulation (Virtual Reality, VR). The created product models give possibilities to simulate the relations between man, product and environment.

Other areas are:

 

The computerized product simulation deals with the following areas:

 

The 3D scanning part includes some basic 3D scanning methods; scanning objects and exporting the data to a computer program.

Rapid Prototyping part includes creating a 3D print from a computerized product model to a physical object.

Examination details

Grading scale: TH - (U, 3, 4, 5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: The examination will be made individually based on passed tutorials and tasks. The 3D scanning and printing is accomplished by a compulsory practice.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
