Content

The course is an introduction to product development and 3D modelling. The product development focuses on processes that lead to the final product. The kernel in 3D modelling is on the creation of curves, surfaces and solids. The student will learn about fundamental principles in visualization and the representation of wireframe, surface and solid models. Applications with CAD-software in product development and 3D modelling.

Learning outcome

Knowledge about:

  • The processes that lead to the realization of a product.
  • The fundamentals of the CAD-system and its functionality in product design and product development.
  • The mathematical basis for making digital geometric models.
  • Basics about the storage and exchange of product data.

Skills:

Use of CAD-software in 3D modelling for product design and product development.

Course assessment

The faculty decides whether early dialogue should be conducted in all or selected groups of courses offered by the faculty. The purpose is to gather feedback from students for making changes and adjustments to the course during the current semester. In addition, a digital evaluation, students’ course evaluation, must be conducted at least once every three years. Its purpose is to collect students` experiences with the course.
