Study Guide

Learning outcomes

The student is able to
- perform basic 3D-modelling and visualisation workflows using CAD software and is able to use the terminology of 3D-modelling
- apply previously learned CAD skills in more advanced CAD assignments and 3D-modelling
- compare different modelling techniques and formats.

Implementation and methods of teaching

The student gains an understanding and skills of the packaging design concepting, structural design and working process through utilizing CAD tools such as Esko ArtiosCAD, Esko Studio Toolkit, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Esko Ai plugins.

The course is a one-week intensive training during week 43 from morning until the evening with a lot of exercises. The last part of the exercises will be done independently by the student after the intensive course. A limited time will be given to finalize those independent tasks.

Timing and attendance

Full attendance during the intensive week 43 is required. The course happens in classroom A260, Lahti Campus.

Learning material and recommended literature

All materials are provided and shared during the course. The study material is tailor-made for this course. The student is not allowed to share the study materials and exercises outside the course (Copyright).

Alternative completion methods

Independent study possibility in the evenings needs to be agreed upon beforehand/separately.

All exercises must be saved to Moodle course platform, no other way is accepted.

Learning environment

Computer (PC) classroom A260, Lahti Campus.

Student time use and work load

Learning new software is very personal. For some, it happens faster and some others slowlier. The course goes at a slow speed and with no stress. If you are fast, you are expected actively help and assist your peers. This is an intensive learning experience together!

You can also make more challenging designs with some of the exercises. You may also design real projects in some of the exercises.

Assessment criteria

Each task and exercise is evaluated (0-5) independently according to the assignment. Every task needs to be passed to get credits from the course.
