Models and Prototyping is one of the main courses of the Design School @PUC. It consists of teaching the students different prototypes manufacturing techniques, such as clay, paper, wire, plastic, cardboard, expanded polystyrene and other materials. The course not only teaches the students about the techniques, instead it focuses on the different types of prototypes and how the techniques should be adapted to what the designer wants to test with the prototype.

As part of the work in this course I had to make a fake pizza, a paper oil bottle, a futuristic wrist, an EPS camera, among others.

This is one of the courses at university that I think I’ve learnt the most, the manufacturing techniques I learnt here were unbelievably useful, and I’ve been perfecting them ever since.
