Read the SCAD Industrial Design Hong Kong blog. Industrial designers determine the form and function of products we use every day - designing them to suit user needs while also considering the demands and limitations of production. The industrial designer is in the business of creating new products, services or ideas that enable people to lead better lives, stimulate commerce and contribute to the wellbeing of the community and environment.
Industrial design courses parallel professional practice involving actual clients on projects for industries including consumer electronics, communications, entertainment housewares, interaction, marine, toys, lawn and garden, consumer products and transportation. SCAD industrial design students have partnered with companies such as Coca-Cola, AMC Theaters, Gulfstream Aerospace, JCB Inc., Newell Rubbermaid, Kicker/Stillwater Design, Kids II, Freescale, Philips, and others on a variety of projects.
Industrial design students work with wood, metals, plastics and composite materials to visualize and realize their design solutions. They also have access to a three-axis computer numeric controlled vertical milling machine and a large envelope five-axis CNC router.
The college's Gulfstream Center for Industrial and Furniture Design is a 43,000-square-foot facility with state-of-the art studios, labs and workshops, high-end computer lab workstations and the latest industry software, including Autodesk Studio, Rhino 3-D, SolidWorks and Maya. Students may use 3-D printers to print polycarbonate or ABS 3-D models of their computer-generated designs.
