DOM-E1027 - Folding Packaging Structures, Lecture, 25.10.2021-29.10.2021

Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students learn step-by-step a system for constructing very strong, glueless 'nets', which enable constructing any 3D form made of polygons (a 'net' is the shape of the card when a 3D package is unfolded flat).
