Introduction to Computer Aided Design, Visual Programming Language and Additive Manufacturing Stereolithography (SLA)
This course aims to equip learners with the fundamental skills to use Computer Aided Design (CAD), visual programming language, and operate a desktop stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer.
Introduction to Functional Textile Design and Sustainable Manufacturing
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) knitted products have become increasingly prevalent in everyday life over the past few years, manifesting in domains that are both design-oriented (sweaters and shoe uppers) and engineering-oriented (seat covers and vehicle chassis preforms etc.). Using design inputs, the machine’s loop-by-loop formation enables users to create shaped geometries with different localised properties in a single manufacturing step. Thus, this broadens the design freedom to create a variety of technical textiles with functional properties that can be used for different industries. Moreover, this additive manufacturing technique presents a sustainable method of creating textiles without depending on conventional cut-and-sew processes.
