SXD-606S: Fabrication Innovation 2: SXD

Credits 3
Instructional Method
Academic Level
Fabrication Innovation 2 builds upon the understanding of a digital fabrication processes but now the student is expected to think beyond the constraints of the tool. The student will be encouraged to hack or develop a recipe of operations in order to design not just the object in mind but the process for the construction of such things. The student will be encouraged to no longer assume that the existing best practice is indeed the best practice to make a particular shape. The student will now reconsider just how a thing might possibly be made and what that new way of making might offer culturally, environmentally and in the marketplace. The student will be expected to form relationships with local industry and local firms in order to study how such problems are currently being addressed and overcome.
