Design for Modern Production

Course Number: 922 Meeting Times: 4 days/week, 1 semester/half year

Credits: 1/2 Grades: 10-12 Prerequisite: Intro to Engineering OR Human Centered Design

Students learn how to design meaningful products by translating ideas into products using 3D Modeling and digital fabrication tools. Participants learn basic to advanced 3D modeling tools and techniques creating physical prototypes through 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC machining. Students apply their skills of 3D modeling to design and create value for others in a capstone project

3D Modeling Boot Camp: Toy Design Project

• Learning the fundamentals of Fusion 360 and 3D modeling through the creation of a children's toy

Fabricating through Laser cutting

• Learn the in's and out's of laser cutting (engraving and cutting) through 3D modeling

Fabricating using the CNC Machine

• Design and create flat-packed furniture using a CNC machine (a computer numerical control machine that cuts into flat pieces of wood)

Fabricating using 3D Printing

• Design and create flashlights using 3D printing

Design for Others: Capstone Project

• Culminate all of your 3D modeling and fabricating experience with a capstone project where you design and create value for others
