Description:

Through this digital design activity, you'll acquire valuable skills in 2D and 3D design using Rhino, and you'll have the opportunity to showcase your creativity by designing a unique monument. Get ready to bring your digital design ideas to life!

Duration: ~4-5 hrs

Materials: Computer

Instructions:

Step 1: Rhino 2D Drawing (Slides and Activity):

• Begin by navigating to the Resources tab and access the slides for Rhino 2D Drawing. Follow along with the class as you learn the fundamentals of 2D design in Rhino.
• Once you've worked through the slides, download the Rhino file provided and complete the associated 2D drawing activity.

Step 2: Rhino 3D Modeling (Slides and Activity):

• Next, move to the Rhino 3D Modeling resources found in the Resources tab. Follow the slides and engage with the class to explore the world of 3D modeling in Rhino.
• Download the Rhino file specific to this section and complete the 3D modeling activity.

Step 3: Create Your Own Vehicle:

• Now that you've gained a solid foundation in both 2D and 3D design with Rhino, it's time to put your skills to the test. Design your very own mode of transportation that you already have physically created using Rhino (use what you've learned in Steps 1 and 2). 
  • You can choose to do a 3D visualization of your transportation device/s or create the 2D files to laser cut your design and physically construct it.
• Once your design is complete, take a screenshot of your Rhino model. Upload the screenshot along with the Rhino file to the Response tab to share your creation with the class.

Deliverables:

Your final product should be a set of files ready for laser cutting or 3D printing. 

You should document your progress along the way and create a set of slides to present to the studio. 

Your presentation should include a demo of the project, including a physical prototype made from the laser cut parts.
