Silver Pendant Project

Hasso Plattner Institute of Design ENGR - School of Engineering

Course Description

In DESIGN 223 (formerly known as ME 248), students will design and create a silver pendant. Beginning with a basic introduction to design and CAD, students use a computer aided design tool to create a 3D model of their pendant design. Next, using machines and processes at the Product Realization Lab, students build a version of their part in a wax-like material. This part is then used in a lost-wax investment casting process to turn the printed part into a cast silver part. Finally, the students are introduced to a set of hand tools they will use to turn their cast silver part into a finished silver pendant. By application only, see course listing notes below.
