ART 19 3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping

ART 19 presents the foundations of 3D modeling and 3D printing, reviews some of the tools you can use to get started, then shares the most essential characteristics that make a model successful and outlines some of the most common issues you might encounter. With hands on instruction in 3D modeling software and a 3D printer, the student will produce real objects out of the virtual world. Emphasis on basic skills and experimentation coupled with information tools and technique enabling a focus on any area of interest, whether jewelry, sculpture, scale models for science or art, or product design.  Students taking ART 119 can  expect additional complexity of printed  projects and or demonstration of enhanced ability with software will be the expectation. Students taking ART 119 without having taken ART 19 first should also have ease with learning new software programs. Carries a lab fee.
