Joaquín Laborda is an Argentinian industrial designer who graduated from the University of Buenos Aires (FADU, UBA). His Industrial Design Course at Universidad de Palermo takes on the challenge of designing an electric go-kart.
Laborda owns Trum Design and has provided services for international companies and startups for 20 years, offering product development, 3D modeling, and visualization. Trum Design’s client portfolio includes 3M, Honeywell, Bose, Mattel, Hasbro, Disney, BH-Diamonds, and Pepsico.
In the course, students drew inspiration from popular brands, designers, movies, or other sources. They began with research, sketching, and creating foam or clay models. Then, they used Rhino software to create detailed 3D models and prototypes.
Joaquín praised the flexibility and speed of the software in creating complex organic forms. They combined SubD and Nurbs techniques and, finally, created their final prototypes using digital CAM processes and systems.
The results were exceptional, with Anamanuela Arizmendi, Gonzalo Binello, Martina De Benedictis, and all the participants displaying exemplary 3D modeling and rendering skills.
