This course explores the potential of digital making and production methods for designers. The course will introduce you to a range of current and emerging digital fabrication (making) technologies, including additive manufacturing (3D printing), subtractive manufacturing such as CNC machines,?laser & waterjet cutting and 3D scanning. You will also be introduced to the rapidly evolving field of AI technologies and how they can be used for both design and digital production / making. You will investigate how these technologies can be best used for your design practice. You will look at the 'open-design' and DIY culture surrounding this emergent field and the collaboration of online maker communities and entrepreneurs.
