Study Guide

Learning outcomes

Students are be able to
- compare and choose materials for a model
- demonstrate a command of three-dimensional sketching
- independently use appropriate modelling tools and equipment in an assignment.

Implementation and methods of teaching

This course is for Packaging and Brand Design students, exchange students, and other students interested in deepening their knowledge in packaging-related labs. The course requires a previous workshop license course or equivalent know-how.

During this course, the students are making more advanced prototypes than in the workshop license course.

Students will get licenses to use a band saw and a belt sander in a wood workshop space, and vacuum forming machines in a plastic workshop space.

Timing and attendance

Participation in contact days is required at the campus. No online participation possibility.

Learning material and recommended literature

Learning materials and information are shared in Moodle.

Learning environment

Packaging workshop
Plastic workshop
Wood workshop
Project space
Computer room

Additional information for students: previous knowledge etc.

Packaging design basics and the ability to design 3D printable objects are required.
