Abstract

To illustrate the learning content of models invisible to the human eye, digital and real patterns of carbon structures and compounds are developed. They occupy an important place in modern science. Of particular interest are the structures of diamond, fullerene, graphene, nanotube, and the molecular compound of methane. An approach to conventional and parametric computer design has been developed through the Blender open source system and specialized application Add-ons. The technical parameters and geometric characteristics of the models are conformed. 3D digital variants of polygonal-mesh and solid models are designed. There are presenting animations and 3D printed (real) models created. For the purpose of promotion, an interactive approach to three-dimensional models is built in Facebook environment.

The Advanced Technologies in Design course, covering a number of modern technological processes, has been present in the course of the Industrial Design specialty, MTF, Technical University of Varna for several years.
