Course detail

2D Machining 2 – 3D Object Processing

FaVU-1-2DO-2Acad. year: 2024/2025

The course is aimed at expanding students' skills in the area of surface machining - laser cutting and 2D milling. It includes an explanation of the basic methods of constructing 3D objects from planar patterns, their comparison and clarification of the pitfalls of each method. This is followed by an explanation of the basics of using the Grasshopper parametric plug-in for Rhinoceros. Clarification of the rules for working with 3D objects from a large number of interconnected parts (creating offsets, locks, appropriate choice of the dividing plane). Working with data structure, systematic and economical design.

Aims

The aim of the course is to expand the knowledge and skills of students necessary for the realization of complex 3D models through 2D machining technologies using the parametric generation tools.

 

Ability to process the source 3D model into patterns that can be produced using 2D machining. Basics of working in parametric modelling, knowledge of procedures for joining and composing the resulting objects.
