DFTG 2371 Advanced Digital Design and Fabrication

Course Information

Course Description

Special topics address recently identified current events, skills, knowledge, and/or attitudes and behaviors pertinent to the technology or occupation and relevant to the professional development of the student. Creation of multiples, for fabrication of functional/kinetic components, iterative prototyping of complex structures, scalable design, construction of large structures from repeated simple components. This course introduces students to tools, workflow, aesthetics and communities surrounding computer-aided-design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and its creative applications within art practice. The CAD/CAM process is particularly well-suited for certain tasks, including the creation of multiples, for fabrication of functional/kinetic components, iterative prototyping of complex structures, scalable design, construction of large structures from repeated simple components, and other ingenious digital/physical work-flows.
