Digital technologies are increasingly relevant in contemporary art and design practice, and using such technologies can significantly enhance efficiency, accuracy, and limitations of otherwise handmade objects. In this course, students will be introduced to and make use of computer programs including Adobe Illustrator, Rhinoceros 3D, Ultimaker software, MeshMixer, and AutoCad programs in order to create objects with laser cutters and 3D printers. Students will also explore 3D scanner as equipment suitable for creating 3D prints and objects. Conceptually, students will develop an understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of using these tools as they create and produce 2D and 3D objects. Note: This one-week intensive meets Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with opportunities to work evenings in supervised studios.
The tuition for one-week intensives is $685. Optional housing is available in our residence halls for an additional cost of $455 per week. To reserve housing, please email cs@saic.edu.
