Description
This subject introduces students to the world of digital design and prototyping using the Rhinoceros software platform and the schools own state of the art Architecture Fabrication and Research Workshop. Rhinoceros is a core software platform utilised by industry for laser cutting, 3d printing, CNC routing, robotics, rapid prototyping and fabrication. Course instruction will be focused upon creating expertise with basic Rhino commands and general strategies for efficient and productive 3d modelling and prototyping.
A strong culture of making and prototyping is emphasised with output to include physical models utilising the Architecture Fabrication and Research Workshop laser cutting and 3D printing equipment.
