Intended Learning Outcomes (ILO)

After completing thecourse, students shall:

Knowledge and understanding

- show understanding of surface modeling and its role inindustrial operations, including knowledge of the area's basic concepts, applicable methodologies and models
- show understanding of determining the form of a product by surface modeling from a design basis
- show understanding of the consequence of surface elements in transferring between different softwares
- show understanding of the classification of surfaces.

Skills and abilities

-show skills in methodology and tolerance adaptation regarding surface modeling
-show ability to produce realistic images from a CAD surface.

Judgement and approach

-show ability to judge the quality of a 3-dimensional CAD model, using different
evaluation tools.

Students gain the knowledge to do concept modeling of a product or a technical function connected to a design surface. The student will also use the software with which they shall be able to create complex geometries based on surfaces.

The courseincludes the following elements:
- Theoretical understanding of geometrical structure around curves and surfaces – geometry assured CAD base
- Modeling techniques-methods, tools, CAD softwares
- Materials and manufacturing processes which are directly linked to the geometry assured CAD base
- File transfer ofneutral surface formats
- Concept modelling
- Design models
- Shape Determination (industry requirements, class A surfaces)
- Tolerances
- 3D-scanning (Reversed engineering)
- Rendering (Keyshot)

The teaching is conducted in English.
