Digital fabrication as Profession
- 1. Digital Fabrication An Introduction to 3D Printing, Laser Cutting and CNC Milling -K.RANJANA S.VIGNESHWAR
- 2. What is Digital Fabrication? • CAD > Fab • Machine is controlled digitally (computers)
- 3. What uses Digital Fabrication?
- 4. Revolution is afoot • Removes barrier • No stock • Customisable • Complexity is free
- 5. Tools Available toYou • Laser Cutter • 3D Printing • CNC Machining
- 7. Raster Engrave +Vector Cut
- 8. 3D Printing
- 9. How it works
- 10. CNC Milling • Like 3D printing but ‘Subtractive’
- 11. Laser Cutting – Software Recommendations • Adobe Illustrator(designer, $$) • Inkscape(general, free) • Fusion 360(accurate, varies free to $25/m)
- 12. 3D Printer – Software Recommendations • Autocad Fusion 360 (parametric) • Blender (freeform, free) • Sketchup(free, plugin to STL)
- 13. CNC Milling – Software Recommendations • Autocad Fusion 360 (recommend) • Blender (freeform, free) • Sketchup(free, plugin to STL)
- 14. Digital Fabrication for Complex Geometry in Architecture
- 16. The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia is an educational and research centre dedicated to the development of an architecture capable of meeting the worldwide challenges in the construction of habitability in the early 21st century Facades and light structures like Hydroceramics, Breathing Skin or Hydromembrane have been developed by the IAAC during recent years. By creating a series of systems that act like a second skin in buildings, IAACtransforms a building’s thermoregulation to imitate the human body -transpiring water to regulate the temperature. Hydroceramics is a façade system made of clay and hydrogel panels capable of cooling building interiors up to 5 degrees. Hydrogel capsules have the capacity to absorb up to 500 times their own weight in water to create a construction system that "breathes" through evaporation and perspiration.
Editor's Notes
- Its about converting computer to real life Use Computer Aided Design, then use a machine that accepts it.
- What can you make? Some examples Can see they are varied But certain aspects makes it more useful, short runs, unique, intricate Flat pack furniture Aerospace parts Trinkets / jewelry Prosthetics
- Why Care? Barriers > Anyone can create. Don’t need the skill of putting it together Stock > Design anywhere, manufacture locally will shake up logistics Custom > Some prosthetics $50k, dedicated engineers. now, design once, feed parameters, done. Parametric, bracelets, feed geometry and your size Complexity > Machine time doesn’t change too much on details unlike humans
- Each has different advantages, Know what you want to create then break it down to make it fit We will step though each
- How it works High powered laser on an X Y plotter Cuts Engraves
- Examples of cuts and engraves
- Material is added together
- FDM – Fused Deposition Modeling Layers built up ‘Additive’
- CNC – Computer Numeric Control Drill head ‘hogs’ out material
