Rapid Design and Innovation Prototype (almost) Anything?
This project-based, hands-on course will teach participants the purpose of prototyping and how to select the best prototyping approach. They will learn to create physical prototypes ranging from low-fidelity (sketching, cardboard, tape) to higher fidelity using tools like Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, electronics, 3D printing, laser cutting and other additive and subtractive manufacturing tools.
Participants will learn the tools through the fabrication of a desk lamp, which has components made using CAD, 3D printing, laser cutting, and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) routing. Participants will be guided through a tutorial for each of the lamp components, but will then design and fabricate their own (DIY) projects using each of the tools.
The course will take place in the Grainger Engineering Design + Innovation Labs. Click here and here to see the facilities and prototyping equipment that will be used in this course.
