Upcoming workshop: Digital Fabrication Strategies for Design
Posted in event, fabrication / lab, furniture, venice, workshops on May 16th, 2012 by adminComing up on June 19-20th! This class really draws on our core competencies — you’ll benefit from our 15 years of experience synthesizing traditional craft techniques with cutting edge digital technologies. Using Rhino 3D modeling and CAD/CAM software we will explore the various methods of digital fabrication and how it affects the design process based on those guidelines. We’ve identified five scenarios that dictate the fabrication process: Slice, Fold, Tile, Skin, and Carve.
This two-day in-depth workshop will cover the various types of digital fabrication and what advantages each process can offer. We will detail the proper setup techniques, both in the field and on the computer, as well as basic software and formatting tutorials. The goal of the workshop is to educate designers and builders on the recent developments in production and craftsmanship, and to bridge the gap between the worlds of design, construction and fabrication. Each digital fabrication method draws its roots from traditional practices of building and making and utilizes computer technology as a tool with tremendous possibilities in those processes.
