Innovative Product Design and Prototyping

This course lets learners to explore, learn and apply state-of-the-art digital design, modelling and digital fabrication competences in high-value industrial sectors. They will learn in-depth knowledge about product innovation, concept modelling, and fabrication process. This course offers learners hands-on experiences of product design, innovation, and fabrication processes. Over the 42 hours training, learners work individually or in small groups to design a customized and personalized product of their own and build it using various fabrication methods, including 3D printing, laser cutting, foam cutting, polymer joining etc. They develop multiple prototypes throughout the course, iterating and refining their design. Beyond the product design and prototyping, the learner will understand the properties of engineering materials as well as the nature of manufacturing process technologies, and therefore, be able to apply Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) guidelines throughout the journey of product design. Similarly important is the study on Quality Management System (QMS), which is always required in complex product development. As a result, the course develops a broad skillset applicable to a range of careers in industry that require both creative thinking as well as digital and technological competences.
