Course Overview

Introduction to 3D Modelling and Technology - TEK1000

The course Introduction to 3D Modelling and Technology (TEK1000) is a foundation course, level I, that focuses on 3D modeling as a tool within product design and development. It covers various aspects of 3D solid modeling, including assembly of components, 2D drawings, simulations of movements of simple assembled mechanisms, and 2D pictures/renditions from 3D models.
