Rapid prototyping tools, CNC machines and
3D printers have become a basic toolbox for
any designer. Today we have the possibility to
extract any kind of form and shape from the
virtual field of 3D modeling software and to turn
them into reality. The field of design is quickly
moving away from serial production toward
small-scale production, from industrial operation
to individual customization, thus undergoing
a radical change of meanings and values. This
course will enable students to design and to
produce small-size objects and products through
a process of digital fabrication.
This course is intended for students with some
background in that specific subject area and to
students attending or having completed one
or two years of their university studies in Art
and Design who are keen on building upon this
through hands-on training experience.
