ART 1180 - Digital Fabrication
Credits: 3
Course Type: Studio
This introductory course explores digital fabrication, which is a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of fine arts, design, and engineering. Students will develop foundational skills using vector-based software and fabrication technologies to create functional, conceptual, and artistic works. The curriculum introduces both technical skills and creative exploration, guiding students through iterative design processes, troubleshooting, and fundamental material properties. Students will learn essential studio practices, including safety protocols for equipment and shared workspace etiquette. Upon successful completion of the course, students will possess the introductory skills and understanding necessary to begin integrating digital fabrication methods into their artistic and design practices.
Prerequisites: FD 2130 - 3D Design: Space + Materiality
Notes: Campus only
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Create digital files using appropriate software, demonstrating correct file setup and preparation for digital fabrication while integrating creative problem-solving and artistic exploration.
- Fabricate physical objects that meet specified project descriptions, applying appropriate tool use, material selection, and machine operation.
- Identify and resolve errors in the digital fabrication process by diagnosing issues, analyzing causes, and implementing solutions, as part of an iterative design process.
- Demonstrate understanding of studio/lab principles by adhering to safety principles, responsibly using equipment, and following best practices for shared workspaces.
