This course is an introduction and survey of rapid-prototyping, especially centered on the advent, impact, and utility of 3D printers and supporting digital technology: computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software. The course will cover both the concepts and practice of 3D printing and prototyping, emphasizing hands-on work developing computer-based design models (“drawings”) and fabricating prototypes (“parts”) using current tools for desktop manufacturing including 3D printers, laser cutters, desktop engravers, and micromolding and printing. With this knowledge and skill set, students will be able to design, develop and demonstrate a working product suitable for commercialization.
