Introduction
The 21st century is presenting a revolution in making that is characterised by a departure from the heavy infrastructure of mass production to the bespoke digital design and manufacture of objects. CNC Routers, 3D printers, Laser cutters are revolutionising this bespoke production.
This practical unit will explore contemporary techniques for both scanning and modelling 3D forms, as well as staged skill acquisition from concept sketch to 3D model, with subsequent refinement to produce machine ready files
Exercises will explore strategies for creating and constructing forms and the pre-flight checking of files for a variety of print, routing and cutting processes.
