Prerequisite
(1)
INFO 1955 - must be completed prior to taking this course.
Course Description
In this class, students learn about the digital tools and techniques relevant to the task of visualizing and prototyping 3-D designs in the Fab Lab. Students review the fundamentals and theory behind rapid prototyping methods; different types of application methods, tools, techniques, and materials; physical limitations of rapid prototyping; and its impact on the design process. Topics include safe use of a variety of machines in the Fab Lab and microcontroller programming (the Arduino system). Students work in small groups to complete a project.
