Module Content
Outline Syllabus:This module introduces the student to the skills needed for model making. It offers instruction and technical support to produce models in different materials. It also enables the practice of accurate measuring and transferring of measurements between different scales. This exploration of a product through 3D physical modelling also introduces the students to good workshop practice. The module will be taught through practical workshops in the studio and be supported by lectures and seminars. On completion of the module, the students will be able to:
- Understand manual methods of model making using different materials (e.g. wood, clay and polymers)
- Identify material properties and select the appropriate modelling method
- Recognise how form and texture influences a model's design approach
- Use rapid prototyping and machine technologies in the creation of prototype models
- Apply basic human factor / ergonomics knowledge to a prototype model-making process
Health and safety:
General workshop practice. Health and safety at work act; risk assessment; COSHH.
Basic engineering workshop procedures and processes:
Reading engineering drawings. Practical workshop skills. Tolerances & fits. Measurement and inspection.
