Facilities

The course is based in the School of Design at The Cass, a highly respected faculty of Art, Architecture and Design. Within the Faculty is Cassworks, a new resource centre for product development that contains advanced manufacturing technology. This includes: CAD studios running Rhino, Autocad, Studio Max, and advanced manufacturing such as rapid prototyping (SLS, 3D print), water-jet cutting, 5-axis CNC milling, laser cutting and 3D scanning. We also have a huge range of traditional equipment, some now quite rare. You will be given the opportunity to experiment and develop skills through technical inductions.
