Introduction

This course provides an introduction to Product Development and 3D-Modelling. The focus is on the different processes which lead to the realization of a product. 3D-Modelling is on the formulation and generation of curves, surfaces and volume as well as the generation and representation of product data.

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.
