In this module, we will dive into essential 3D modeling techniques, starting with the creation of a chair and progressing through platonic solids like the octahedron and dodecahedron. You’ll learn how to use technical drawings to model a bench and refine your designs using arcs, patterns, and constraints. This section lays a solid foundation for understanding 3D object construction.

In this module, we will explore the nuances of designing models specifically for 3D printing. You will learn how to account for material strength, tolerances, and cost, as well as create practical objects like a phone charging station and Allen key. Additionally, this section introduces advanced techniques for designing 3D-printed boxes with secure closures.

In this module, we will explore the fundamentals of laser cutting, beginning with an introduction to parametric modeling and progressing to hands-on projects such as designing a laser-cut lamp and box. You will also learn how to export models to a dxf file and apply finishing touches like patterns and handles for functional use.

In this module, we will delve into parametric product modeling, a powerful design approach where object dimensions are driven by variables. You’ll learn how to create a parametric box by defining key parameters and explore the broader potential of this technique in product design, enabling flexibility and customization.

In this module, we will complete the course by designing a 3D-printed hinge, which involves creating multiple parts that interact. You’ll also explore the remaining features of 3D modeling, including rendering your final designs. The section concludes with a recap and closing remarks from the instructor.
