- [Tam] Have you always wanted to design your own objects,
but didn't know where to start?
There's a whole world of making techniques
from small scale to mass production
that are accessible to everyone.
With the technology available today,
you can design your project in 3D modeling software
and have a physical model in a matter of days.
By learning more about the way things are made,
you can get your ideas that much closer to reality.
There are many connections to be made
between prototyping and mass production techniques
and understanding what's possible
can help save a lot of time, resources,
and effort with trial and error.
In this course, I'll be covering design considerations
for molding using solid works to demonstrate concepts.
I'll discuss industry terms,
look at an overview of materials,
and talk about how to make the most out of your design.
I'll also be talking about how these design methods
translate from the hands-on prototyping stage
to larger scale manufacturing.
Lastly, I'll go over some of the variety
of manufacturing processes available,
and discuss the criteria to consider
when choosing your method of manufacture.
Hi, I'm Tam and I'm multi-disciplinary design consultant,
an avid member of the maker scene,
and a lifetime learner.
For the past three years,
I've been teaching people about
the wonderful world of mold making.
I combine my experience with furniture building,
carpentry and prototyping with my knowledge of
3D design and design for manufacturing
in this course for you.
