3D Modeling with Rhino is an introduction to 3D modeling using the Rhino computer program for Mac OS X. Students gain the technical knowledge needed to push rigorous exploration of 3D modeling, both in the physical and digital realm. The course covers basic model manipulation and rendering operations. The course also reviews the history of 3D printing and an examination of how modeling for 2D differs from modeling for physical output. By course end, students will have the opportunity to output their work via CNC milling, 3D printing, or 2D rendered visualization.
This course will introduce student to digital fabrication techniques within the context of contemporary art. Students will complete a series of projects exploring fabrication technologies such as 3D printing, 3D Scanning, CNC milling and Laser cutting. In addition, student will question the machines’ raw output by fusing these processes with traditional sculptures techniques. Student will produce a series of works following project prompts. Although the course will process-heavy, student will maintain a rigorous conceptual grounding in their completed works.
