Professional practice for design

The course introduces students to the technical environment of prototype development with a focus on processes that directly influence product design. Instruction includes modelmaking methods, basic surface preparation, composite technologies, CNC production, sheet-metal forming, material joining techniques, and welding of simple structures. A part of the course is dedicated to electrical wiring and basic digital control principles relevant to contemporary product design. Emphasis is placed on connecting the design concept with technological feasibility and on understanding real-world material and manufacturing constraints.
