2-4 School PC Laptop Pencil Eraser Design Booklet. Part 2 - Title page and coaster moodboard. Students learn the importance of presenting a portfolio in a professional fashion for their client. They learn the benefit of researching existing products and using said products as inspiration to develop their own unique designs Part 3 - Ideation task – idea generation for coaster design As part of the design process students learn to generate ideas through the production of thumbnail sketches. Here the ideas are valued over artistic skill. Thoughts are to be transmitted to paper quickly and freely. Part 4 - Introduction to Illustrator. Interface. Basic tool use. Illustrator is the industry standard package for vector design. Students learn that in order to laser cut they need to develop skills in the use of illustrator to create these vector drawings. They practice basic tool use and learn to navigate the program’s interface.

Here students the process to convert a drawing to stl. There can be errors in the drawing and students will learn how to fix these errors Part 9 – 3D printing using 3D printer program. Printer set up and operation. Students learn to operate xyzware alongside the operation of the 3d printer itself. Antistick materials and heating of printer body are discussed. Part 10 – Future Technologies Task Students research the future technologies that are taking the ‘Maker’world and industry by storm. Expected Pupils’ Outcomes: By the end of the task pupils should have learnt to: Sketchup/XYZ ware Creating CAD drawing Using CAD tools in a creative fashion Dimensioning Exporting a 2d graphic Creating an STL file for printing Placing objects in XYZware.
