Foundations of 3D Modeling

Digital design software is the modern cornerstone of turning ideas into functional products. Students will learn beginner to advance 3D modeling skills using Autodesk Fusion as their main platform.

3D Printing, Laser and Vinyl Cutting

The quickest way to launching a successful product is your ability to rapidly create and test your products. Students will learn how to take their 3D modeled designs and transform them into functional products using various machinery, like 3D printers, laser cutters, and vinyl cutters.

Focus on
User-Experience

A main aspect of creating any product is it's ability to be intuitively used by whomever is using it. This requires careful attention to the way it's used, and perfected to make it the best product for the intended user. Students will learn how to do this through hands-on activities and challenges.
