Course Overview

3D Design is a creative course focused on the design and creation of three-dimensional products. You will explore materials, processes, and techniques, learning how to bring your design ideas to life in areas such as product design, furniture design, and architecture.

 What will I learn?

You will work on a range of projects, from conceptual designs to functional products. The course covers technical drawing, model-making, and the use of computer-aided design (CAD) software. You will also develop an understanding of design history and theory.

How will I be assessed?

The course is assessed through a personal project, which is developed over the second year, and an externally set assignment, where you will design and produce a final piece based on a given theme.

Progression

A Level 3D Design prepares you for careers in product design, architecture, and engineering. It also provides a solid foundation for further study in design-related fields at university or through apprenticeships.
