Om emnet
Digital fabrication is in rapid development and increasingly involved in design and architectural processes, as a tool for prototyping and construction. The course is meant for design- and architectural students at master's level, that seek a deeper insight in the utilization of digital fabrication, in their studies and elsewhere.
This course will give insight into use, limitations and possibilities with some of these technologies through practical, hands- on exercises. The course is meant for both design and architecture students who want a practice based understanding of existing and emerging digital fabrication technologies. The course will enable the students to explore many of these technologies through small workshops and exercises.
SUPPLEMENTIVE INFORMATION
The course is a collaboration between the academic staff at the Institute of Design, the Institute of Architecture and staff at the workshops at AHO.
Læringsutbytte
KNOWLEDGE
At the end of the course the students will
- have knowledge about SLA, SLS, FDM, 3DP, lasercutting, knifecutting and 3D scanning.
- have hands-on knowledge in how to run the different machines.
- know how to evaluate the usefulness of the different processes.
SKILLS
With the completed studies the student will
- be better equipped in utilizing the latent potentials of the technology in the setting of product-/interaction- and architectural design.
- possess the necessary knowledge involved in preparation and pre-processing of digital CAD files.
GENERAL COMPETENCE
The student should be able to explain the choice of methods for realizing the tangible object, and why.
Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter
As with other elective courses the course will consist of weekly learning activities, lectures, material exploration and use of available digital fabrication processes through exercises in the workshops. The course culminates with an exhibition demonstrating selected outcome of the course.
