Advanced Model Making and Prototyping

Objective

After completing the course, the student will be able to
- To shape and produce a refined prototype based on conceptual ideas
- Develop and present product concepts and structural solutions using 1:1 scale models and prototypes.
- Utilize prototyping as part of the product development process.
- Evaluate the success of the design with productization in mind

Content

Designing and physically manufacturing full-scale models and prototypes based on earlier design work. Exploration of manufacturing methods and material selection

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

0: The performance is very incomplete or incorrect, or contains significant misunderstandings.
1-2: Performance is narrow, superficial, or poorly matched to assignment. The performance is limited to listing things in isolation, or dealing with things unilaterally. Execution may contain errors or ambiguities.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Performance corresponds to assignment, demonstrates understanding and the ability to analyze and justify. The whole picture has been formed, but there may be shortcomings.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The performance outlines a broad entity and the knowledge can be applied multidimensionally or placed in different contexts. Performance demonstrates independent grip and insight. Performance is an intact entity that includes justified self-thinking or critical reflection. The answer is well written or implemented.

Further information

Course participation requirement:
Completion of prior courses, such as Model Building or Furniture Model Design, or other demonstrated qualifications, based on the teacher's judgment. The study module involves creating a prototype based on a previous product design idea.
