Educational objectives The 3D Modeling and Printing Course program includes the introduction and practical guide to the main creative and executive solutions related to the world of 3D graphics. The course deals with theoretical and practical topics, trying to provide students with the tools necessary to learn the fundamental knowledge on the use of 3D modeling and printing software used and apply them in dedicated projects.
We will deepen the design phases aimed at acquiring different contents in different formats and different methods so as to transform a design idea into a virtual and physical three-dimensional model. The intention is to direct students towards a project based on the complete vision of the project, with a three-dimensional approach that, in a proactive and effective way, prefigures projects suitable for both an artistic and commercial market
Prerequisites Good knowledge of:
- CAD automatic drawing software: Autodesk Autocad, Progecad or similar
- vector graphic design software: Adobe Illustrator, CoreDraw or similar
- raster graphic design software: Adobe Photoshop or similar
Teaching methods During the lessons, individual application exercises will be carried out in the classroom directly with your PC or with the tools provided (it is advisable to have a laptop to facilitate understanding of the lesson). the lessons will be structured according to the timetable in theoretical parts and practical parts with exercises related to the topics covered during the lesson and will be useful to apply and acquire the concepts explained.
Other information none
Learning verification modality The course will end with a final exam in which the students will have to present the papers and make an oral interview according to the methods indicated by the teacher
Extended program The course will be divided into 2 parts during which the frequency constancy will be fundamental for a complete preparation, useful for acquiring the knowledge necessary to pass the final tests.

The first part of the course deals with the basic principles of three-dimensional modeling.
The second part of the course enters into the direct (visual and creative) use of the potential of modeling software.
The following software will be discussed in detail:
- McNeel Rhinoceros 7 for modeling
- KeyShot 8 or later for rendering
- Autodesk Mesmixer for 3D printing
- Cura for 3D printing
- generic interactions between the various software.
Obiettivi Agenda 2030 per lo sviluppo sostenibile This teaching contributes to the realization of the objectives ONU of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
