3D-Materials for Mechanical Design and Drawing Education --Technical Assistance Through Experience
Tsutomu Araki
This is a collection of teaching materials for mechanical modeling, intended to deepen the students’ thinking, encourage critical assessment, and enhance their capabilities in creating the best products through the educational application of machine designing/ drawing and computer-aided design. We encourage our students to comprehensively experience and be educated by use of these materials for learning technical drawing, through user experience evaluation of student-designed shapes and functions, and trial production of blocks to learn about the processing accuracy or characteristics of 3D modeling machines. These are selected examples of our methods for supporting design and drafting education at our university.
Digital Modeling Contest Works (Web 3D)
We have set up a gallery of historic prizes and award-wining works in past Digital Modeling Contests. Some of these works can be viewed in 3D virtual spaces using Web 3D technology "XVL Technology".
