Welcome to Mr. Jopp's Design and Modeling class.
Design and Modeling (DM)
- In this unit, students begin to recognize the value of an engineering notebook to document and capture their ideas. They are introduced to and use the design process to solve problems and understand the influence that creative and innovative design has on our lives. Students use industry standard 3D modeling software to create a virtual image of their designs and produce a portfolio to showcase their creative solutions.

MakerBot 3D printing
The next revolution in computer technology points to 3D printing. If you can think it, draw it, or design it, you will be able to print it out as a prototype or replica. Click on the picture above to see what 3D printing is all about.
