Industrial Design Fundamentals

Industrial Design Fundamentals · Product Industrial Design (Blender & Digital Twin) course

Objectives

Lock the dimensions to the hardware before making it beautiful: think through the four lenses of industrial design, set Blender to millimetres, and build a block enclosure with correct clearance.

Lessons

#	Lesson	Content
1	Industrial design principles and a to-scale enclosure	The four lenses of design work, the Concept → Block → Final sequence, the enclosure workflow, PCB clearance, and setting units and scale in Blender
2	Lab: a block enclosure to hardware scale	Setting up the scene and units, building a PCB placeholder, building an enclosure block with clearance, then naming and saving the file

Approximate time per the original: about 2 hours (lessons) + a 90–120 minute lab.

Accompanying sheets and templates (in the resources/ folder of lesson 1):

• scale-and-block-checklist.md

Checkpoint

Before moving to the next module, check that you can do the following:

• The Blender scene is Metric + Millimeters, per the team’s convention
• A PCB placeholder at the measured size or the lab’s stated size
• An enclosure block that fits over the PCB, with Apply Scale done and clear object names
• scale-and-block-checklist.md filled in completely
