Whether you are looking to develop a new career, make a career change or enhance your existing art or design skills, WUD’s Diploma programs in Professional Automotive Modeling can help.
The Professional Automotive Modeling programs prepare you for employment as a 3D modeler in the transportation and product design industries. Coursework includes the essential techniques of hand modeling for pre-visualizing final products in clay and/or digital modeling of designs in Alias®. The program prepares you for high demand positions at original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the auto and product industries. By building manual and/or digital modeling skills, you will learn how the two approaches integrate in the real world.
Student must complete the diploma successfully before being accepted into the advanced diploma program. There is a choice of 2 tracks – Clay and Digital. A student may opt to study both the tracks, but only one track of study can be completed at a time.
You’ll learn to translate drawn design concepts into 3D clay models using industry standard tools and methods. Work from orthographic drawings and work with design direction to transform a designer’s vision into a tangible reality. It will be an intensive skill based programs which will have inputs in design fundamentals, form studies, technical design, digital modelling, materials and model making.
Clay modeling is used widely in the automotive and product design industries as a way to previsualize concepts which help in decision making before taking the products further for manufacturing. Automotive Clay Modelling is identified collectively by Indian OEMs as an area with a gap between the supply & demand of skilled personnel. The related skill sets are much in demand, and their availability well below the desired supply.
OEMs need digital sculptors who can prepare meta data files for manufacture. This requires the ability to work with fine detail, problem solve structural and design issues, and work at a high level of skills in Alias®. Though involved in the creative process, Sculptors are the last link between design and manufacturing, and need to communicate well with both Designers and Engineers.
