IT is the fastest growing sector in the world. IT is the fastest-growing sector worldwide. South Africa’s economy has been centered on “primary”, which includes mining. It has a large labour-based workforce. These industries are now becoming increasingly automated, and South Africa is changing the way it works. Our economic and social development depends on our ability to contribute to the global digital economy. People who can transform the banking industry from paper to cloud are essential. Without cloud architects, we won’t be able to have a global banking industry. Every industry, every profession and every government department uses IT. You can’t get a degree if you don’t use computers. We need more people who see IT as central to their lives.

COMPUTATIONAL GEOMETRY FOR 3D PRINTING
Course description:
It is important to understand surface and volumetric modeling concepts that are applicable to 3D printing. Rapid prototyping is becoming more common with 3D printers. Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is a method that involves depositing thin layers semi-molten materials. However, it isn't without its limitations. Material thickness and support structures are important factors to consider. This course will teach you how to create 3D printed geometric models. Students will learn how to code 3D modelling software and then design and print a model. The topics covered are: Geometry and Topology of Computer Graphics; 3D printing concepts: Printing Hardware. Overhang Support. Applications. Volumetric concepts: Voxels. Computational solid Geometry. Isosurface extraction. Surface concepts: Parametric Surfaces. Mesh Smoothing. Free-Form Deformation.
