Modelling

Important: The basic prerequisite for using the workshops at Bauhausstraße 9d is always a workshop introduction!

The Modelling Workshop is one of the central workshops of the Faculty of Art and Design and is therefore available to all students on the Fine Art, Secondary School Teaching Art, Product Design, Visual Communication and Media Art and Design degree programmes. Modelling is integrated into the workshop complex consisting of wood, plastic and CAD / CAM / CNC milling in the workshop at Bauhausstraße 9d.  

General use
Today, model making is no longer conceivable without digital capture and processing methods. For this reason, the CAD / CAM / CNC milling workshop and the modelling workshop work very closely together. 

In order to realise your project successfully, we recommend that you contact the employees in the workshops as early as possible. Only in this way can the various methods, work steps and options be taken into account during production. Timely planning on your part enables the employees in the workshops to deal with the projects in detail so that you can complete your work in good quality by the desired deadline.  

Description
Modelling at the Faculty of Art and Design ranges from illustrative and functional models to technical modelling. We teach knowledge and skills for the production of various models and moulds. 

In principle, models can be made from the simplest materials and resources that we can find anywhere. However, models can also be of high functional precision and aesthetic quality. For such models, we are supported by CAD / CAM / CNC milling, 3D printing and 3D scanners in addition to the possibilities offered by craftsmanship. 

Using moulds and models, components can be produced or reproduced in other materials, e.g. by thermoforming or laminating plastics or casting various synthetic resins in corresponding moulds. There are models and moulds for clay and ceramic work, for driving metal sheets and even aluminium moulds for plastic injection moulding. 

Thanks to the close co-operation with the other workshops in the faculty, cross-material and cross-production work can be carried out. It is also possible to work with external companies such as foundries to produce models and core boxes for sand moulding processes or for casting metal objects. Moulds for blowing glass can also be produced in cooperation with glass blowing companies.

We recommend
The following things are helpful for the successful realisation of your work:

  1. speak to the employees in the workshop regarding your project at an early stage.
  2. bring sketches, drawings, pictures, objects and/or digital data to the meeting so that we can get the best possible idea of your project.
  3. suitable for digital data transfer:
    *.IGS for NURBS-based surface data
    *. STL for polygonal surfaces
    *.DXF or *.DWG for pure curve data
  4. writing the milling programmes, setting up, operating and monitoring the milling work is carried out by the workshop employees.
