Computer-Aided Design - 3D Lab

Profile

The 3D Lab provides you with a space to digitally develop your artistic projects. We’ll teach you basic and advanced techniques for creating 3D objects (modeling, sculpting, scanning), as well as methods for visualizing them (rendering, animation, VR, WebGL) and bringing them to life physically (3D printing, layered models, laser cutting).

Our program combines Moodle-based online courses with hands-on in-person instruction and individual guidance. After receiving training, students can also work independently in the 3D lab.

VR headsets and laptops are available for loan.

Registration for the joint orientation meeting is done via the 3D Lab's email address.
