Course programme
Laser cutting and CAD / CAM techniques will be discussed and explored as part of this course, where you will gain experience of using plastics, card, rigid foams, carving, shaping and finishing techniques.
Simple architectural and product development modelmaking will be explored before you are challenged to model one of your own designs or a classic piece of architecture / design.
Your finished results will be valuable as an addition to your portfolio, for students looking to study higher-level courses, or the perfect foundation for further courses related to architecture and design.
Throughout the course you will be shown examples of professional practice, be introduced to recommended books about modelmaking and gain insight into an inspiring, creative and sometimes overlooked career option.
