Fabrication | Online Workshop | English | North-South Americas
Description:
Key Words: Fabrication,Production,Tesselation,Tile
Required Skills: 3d Modeling (rhino, etc.) 2d Vector graphics.
Required Software: Rhino or similar 3D modeling app
Required Hardware: PC adequate to run the software.
Maximum number of participating students: 20
This workshop offers attendees Instruction and knowledge of basic fabrication tools, equipment and processes. Attendees are presented with a variety of practical construction-based projects to demonstrate and illustrate different output processes, with an emphasis on Compute Numeric Control (CNC). The workshop will focus on the intersection of traditional (analog) methods of production, with automated (digital) output, such as CNC and 3D printing.
