ART 39AS Building 3D Fabricators

Toaster project

“Left to his own devices he couldn’t build a toaster. He could just about make a sandwich and that was it.” -Mostly Harmless, Douglas Adams, 1992

This great TED talk by Thomas Thwaites on his Toaster Project perhaps adresses what we are trying to do in this course, at least in part, by coming to grips with our own modes of manufacturing.

ART39AS Building 3D Fabricators

This course introduces DIY digital fabrication through three-dimensional modeling and rapid prototyping technologies for the incorporation into works of art and design. Through the construction of a commercially available open source 3D fabricator, this course addresses issues surrounding open source manufacturing and topics including data acquisition, modeling, visualization, modularity, and material practices.
