Course Aims

The course is structured as a series of interlocking lectures, workshops and hands on, in-class exercises, introducing students to the basics of digital manufacturing. The core aim of the course is to convey applied knowledge in all areas of digital manufacturing, from software workflows to hardware machine processes. Students will explore subtractive manufacturing methods in the areas of CNC machining and well as laser cutting and associated assembly techniques and models. Another focus of the course is on additive manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing and associated technologies such as 3D scanning and projection mapping, allowing students to explore the complex interplay of virtual and actual, digital design steps to either capture and process actuality into a digital format or reversely physicalise digital content, ultimately leading them to work with augmented, extended and mixed reality. In-class exercises and assigned projects will expose students to a range of tools and techniques which will enable them to design and produce a series of small digital manufactured objects, as a form of artistic and design production.
