Description
MASTER MODULE IN 3D DIGITAL MODELLING FOR TRANSPORTATION DESIGN – from the CAS to the fundamentals for surfaces of class A and B.
10 months – 60 ECTS credits
Language: English
Schedule: Monday to Friday (extra classes may be occasionally scheduled on Saturdays), full time (including lectures, laboratories and individual study), compulsory attendance.
In recent decades, the professionals related to the automotive evolved and specialized. Due to constant technological innovation it has been possible to reduce the time of design and development and digital modelling has become an indispensable tool, not only in the stages of finalizing a concept but also in the early stages of design.
Among the new emerging professions is that of the 3D designer who, with specific expertise in the design and in-depth through the latest modeling software, is able to effectively support the designer in the development of the project.
For a competitive and effective training, IAAD collaborates with Dassault Systemes, a world leader in the production of software for the creation, simulation, analysis and sharing of projects in 3D.
Through this prestigious partnership, IAAD offers the only Master in Europe that delas with the modeling through the software ICEM Surf. ICEM Surf is a 3D modelling software based only on Bezier curves, is part of the Dassault family (formerly creators of engineering software as CATIA) and allows the modeling both basic and advanced of aesthetic surfaces especially in the technical quality of representation.
It is commonly used during the late phase of 3D modeling in the creation of aesthetic surfaces. Working with tolerances and higher matching ratios compared to its competitors, it is mainly used for the construction of surfaces of class B and A. These two phases in spite of the one called CAS (corresponding to Classes C), require within an implementation technique for creating a path towards industrial production of the volumes created. The tolerances must be significantly reduced according to the materials and workmanship that surfaces will have to undergo in the industrial process that will follow the process of creating style.
Contents
Transportation Design Master programmes are full-time courses lasting 16 months, divided into 2 modules:
Preliminary Module - 6 months - 60 ECTS credits
Master Module - 10 months - 60 ECTS credits
Language: English
Schedule: Monday to Friday (extra classes may be occasionally scheduled on Saturdays), full time (including lectures, laboratories and individual study), compulsory attendance.
Subject
Main disciplines of the Master Module
• Macro feasibility. Study aimed at understanding of technical language setting through an overview of the main rules and hard points of the project to follow when creating a car (visibility of ramp angles, sleepers, etc ...). A 360 ° view on the most common issues that the candidate will have to face in the process of creating the design, service, or in symbiosis with the technical requirements.
• Virtual modelling - ICEM Surf. Thanks to the partnership with Dassault Systemes, students will be taken into the world of advanced virtual modelling with ICEM Surf software.
Render. Purpose of the course is to provide the basic tools for the preparation of effective presentation materials, paper or virtual. The course will be based on the teaching of techniques and software most commonly used by companies to make presentations and visualizations of an object to the client. The course also provides hints on photography techniques, optics and the use of lights and materials.
• Transportation design - Exterior. Study of style, volumes and proportions of the exterior of a car. During the course, students are confronted with a brief from which they will develop the stages of brainstorming, the identification and development of concepts through sketching and rendering of the same, to get to the final presentation of the project.
• Transportation design - Interior. The goal is the acquisition of the ability to design multiple types of interiors from a given design brief and respecting the stylistic constraints of the brand chosen. Particular attention will be paid to the choice of materials.
• Portfolio. The portfolio is the first instrument with which a candidate is presented to professionals in the automotive world. The course is aimed at the transmission of skills for structuring a presentation portfolio that reflects in a comprehensive and coherent way the student's skills.
Scholarships
IAAD offers 5 scholarships to be assigned to candidates according to curriculum and portfolio evaluation.
The available scholarships are:
- 1 worth 100% the tuition fee
- 2 worth 50% the tuition fee
- 2 worth 20% the tuition fee
Scholarships will be assigned to the top 5 students in the Preliminary application ranking, and will be confirmed for the Master module prior the passing of all Preliminary exams with a minimum 27/30 average. Scholarships will be awarded with merit criteria from a board selected from the Direction and from the Coordinator of the "Communication Design" department.
Requirements
- Preliminary Module
Graduates in Industrial Design, Automotive Engineering and related subjects, holders of a postgraduate diploma in Industrial and Transportation Design and candidates who have gained significant professional experience in the field of transportation can access the Preliminary Module. Admission is subject to the assessment of the application, to be submitted by letter of application, curriculum vitae and portfolio. IAAD reserves the right to request the candidates, if necessary, an interview in person or via Skype.
- Master Module
Access to the Master Module from Preliminary is subject to passing the exams incurred in the latter and the evaluation of the Coordinator of the Master.
Graduates in Transportation Design or who have gained significant experience in the Transportation Design or modelling can access the Master Module. Admission to the course is in both cases possible only with the approval of the Coordinator of the course based on the assessment of academic qualifications, professional resume and portfolio.
