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 Engineering
Improving existing products through careful measurement and analysis.
Shop Floor
Concept Development
From concept sketch to CAD model to physical prototype.
Concept Presentations
Students use Adobe PhotoShop and Illustrator to create formal professional presentations.
Metal Lathe
Precision machined components are essential. Manual machining is a critical skill for designers and engineers alike.
Foam Prototype Development
Foam material allows students to experiment with and visualize multiple variations of a product before committing to a final design
Form Studies
Iterative exploration of form to better understand the relationship between form and function.
CNC Router Project
Students design and build their own custom CNC routers to take home and continue learning!
