Advanced topics for students who have completed one or more design computing courses and wish to develop a project further. Offered: W.
Class description
This course will emphasize the digital-manufacturing/fabrication side of the Computer-Aided-Design-and-Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) continuum. While there are no prerequisites, students with skills in digital design, particularly solid modeling (Solidworks, Pro-Engineer, Inventor etc..) will find the course complimentary to their previous experience. The course will cover the history and use of numerically-controlled tools, the development of digital manufacturing technologies and their use in design and architecture. Students will learn how to use the CBE digital manufacturing tools and will be required to complete a series of physical, full-size projects using them to work with real materials.
