MDTC 236 - Rapid Prototyping


Credit Hours: 4
Billable Contact Hours: 6
Prerequisites: MDTC 161  and MDTC 228 
Session Cycle: FL

In this course, students will learn about the evolution of digital fabrication with a full overview of the design industry and related technologies. Each hands-on, project-based learning (PBL) exercise will allow students to design and fabricate 3D objects using computer-aided design (CAD) software and 3D printers. They will experience the design process and become familiar with the advantages and limitations of each 3D printing technology in terms of precision, resolution, and material capabilities. Students will analyze real industry cases, and apply 3D printing technology appropriately while gaining hands-on experience with leading 3D printing technologies employed in design today.
