This course will provide an overview of additive manufacturing technologies, digital geometry representations, optimization methods, physically-based simulation techniques, and forward and inverse models for computer-aided design.

This course will partially take place at TU Wien and IST Austria. IST Austria provides a shuttle bus for anybody traveling from Vienna-Heiligenstadt to the campus. More information can be found here.
