STUDIO
A collaborative and creative environment with state of the art multi-media studio,
CAD stations and model shop providing students with a project-based, hands-on learning experience from Ideation to Prototyping. Students will develop industry-driven skills from rapid visualization sketching
to model-making, prototype development and technical communication/ drafting. They
will learn to use a wide range of software and equipment such as 3D parametric solid
modeling and drafting (SolidWorks CAD), CAM software, PhotoShop, Illustrator, 3D printing,
laser cutting, manual and CNC machining, vacuum-forming, injection-molding, fiberglass
layups, silicone mold-making, sheet metal fabrication, finishing and painting and
much more.
Reverse EngineeringImproving existing products through careful measurement and analysis.
Shop Floor
Concept DevelopmentFrom concept sketch to CAD model to physical prototype.
Concept PresentationsStudents use Adobe PhotoShop and Illustrator to create formal professional presentations.
Metal LathePrecision machined components are essential. Manual machining is a critical skill
for designers and engineers alike.
Foam Prototype DevelopmentFoam material allows students to experiment with and visualize multiple variations
of a product before committing to a final design
Form StudiesIterative exploration of form to better understand the relationship between form and
function.
CNC Router ProjectStudents design and build their own custom CNC routers to take home and continue learning!
