What the college says

Product Design at LRGS is a forward thinking and innovative course. We look to university and industry for our inspiration, encouraging students to seek out and solve real world problems as they would do during further study or in a future career. All students are given a completely free choice in their coursework and are encouraged to investigate creative ways of solving problems through iterative 3D model production and virtual prototyping. All students are trained in the most up to date CAD software available and taught advanced additive and subtractive manufacturing methods. Students are given the opportunity to download a copy of the software for home use. The department boasts three 3D printers, CNC routers and Laser cutters as well as a comprehensive heat treatment and metal forming area. As part of the Product Design A-level, students are encouraged to enter local and national competitions. We have had success at all levels including the Rotary challenge which we have won for the past two years and the Triumph Design awards where two of our students attended the national finals in 2016, one of whom won the 'Committee Award' for his innovative work with a local engineering firm in developing a carbon fibre lighting system for working in confined spaces.
