Design and Manufacture

The goal of this course is to provide students with the ability to make an educated selection of production processes within the design process to obtain desired concept, shape and functional outputs. Students will be introduced to the most common high and low volume manufacturing processes, realize their limitations, exploit their potential, understand the moulds involved, and recognize how the products that surround us in our daily lives are created. Students will actively undertake research, detailed design assignments and workshop tasks set in the context of the design process and manufacturing processes.
