3D Printing and Design Solutions
In this course, students examined the role of 3D printing in the visual arts specifically in the context of the body, and as a prototype design tool. We start by questioning what the 3D printer can do that other ways of making things can’t do; in other words, why are we using it? We learn basic elements of design, and talk about what makes a good design, and how and when to push preconceived boundaries. Students are given a series of problems to solve exploring methods based in biomimicry, architecture, and more.
