After successful completion of the course, students are able to design for additive and subtractive digital production methods, especially 3D printing techniques, CNC milling processes and laser cutting.

Participants are introduced to the fundamental knowledge needed to rigorously approach a digital design-to-production workflow and are exposed to a creative and research-driven use of manufacturing technology. By addressing the basic concepts of Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing, the course will shed light over different production techniques and their manifold and cross-disciplinary use cases. Laser cutting, CNC milling and 3D printing will be explained and referenced to projects in the fields of art, design and architecture. After attending hands-on demonstrations on the use of machines, students will be actively involved in design and prototyping exercises in the Modellbauwerkstatt. 

Theorethical lectures and project work in the form of prototype production.

McNeel Rhinoceros v6 is the software platform of chioce.
Classes will be held in English.

The course lectures will be live streamed.
The URL will be provided  on TISS at the "Communication" section. 

Presentation of the project.

Previous knowledge in Computer Aided Manufacturing is not mandatory.
Good understanding of Geometry, 3D modelling and model making are welcome.
