Description: | |
Creating a prototype of a product used to be a very expensive proposition. Now, however, with the availability of consumer-level 3D printers and relatively easy-to-program custom electronics, it is possible to prototype many types of products yourself. This online certificate consists of two classes; either one can be taken first. 3D printing can be used to create product mockups quickly, and is particularly useful for seeing how something feels to a user, and seeing how a piece will fit with other existing pieces. ?Maker? electronics include microprocessors, like the Arduino, which have a free and open source ecosystem of software and compatible sensors that will allow you to create interactive prototypes that can detect motion, sound, light, or control moving parts. Taken together, these two classes will give you the skills to get started with these two aspects of low-cost prototyping, and give you an idea of what is possible and where to learn even more skills going forward. This certificate includes the Introduction to 3D Printing and Prototyping with Maker Electronics courses. Please watch for your invitation email from teacher@ugotclass.org in your regular or junk mail within a few days of enrolling. Registration closes on class start date. Recommended optional e-books: Horvath, Mastering 3D Printing (Apress: 2014) [discount code for U Got Class students will be available] and Horvath, Hoge and Cameron, Practical Fashion Tech (Apress, 2016). | |
