Digital Modeling & Fabrication Program
IYRS's nationally accredited Digital Modeling & Fabrication program begins with an exploration of design thinking concepts, hand sketching, and design prototyping on manual tools and machines. Progressing, students will learn and become proficient in using industry-aligned 3D modeling software including SOLIDWORKS®, Rhino, and Fusion360.
Students will learn to fabricate their designs using technology including 3D printers, laser cutters, and CNC mills, lathes, and routers. Students work with a variety of materials including plastics, advanced SLA resins, thermoforming plastic, metal, composites, and wood, and gain exposure to microprocessing.
