Introduction to Computer Aided Design, Visual Programming Language and Additive Manufacturing Stereolithography (SLA)
About This Course
This course aims to equip learners with the fundamental skills to using Computer Aided Design (CAD), Visual Program Language, and operating a desktop stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer.
Rhinoceros 8.0 is a very popular CAD software being used in engineering, architecture, and other design industries. With Grasshopper, users can use code to do their design, allowing higher degree of freedom.
Additionally, learners will be exposed to the workflow for stereolithography (SLA) 3D Printing, from Slicing to Post-processing. SLA 3D printing is a relatively low cost Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology that generates functional parts with great finishing, depending on the material and setting of the print.
Combining both skills, learners will be equipped with the fundamental skills in Rhinoceros 8.0 and SLA AM. These skill sets are valuable in industrial application, especially in low volume production, Research & Development (R&D), and optimized Design for AM.
