Overview:
In this seminar, we will explore together the emerging and exciting field
of Computational Fabrication: creating novel manufacturing solutions and
products with the help of computational thinking and methods.
For example, you will learn how to:
- Guide caustics (random shadow and highlights you see in the bottom of a
swimming pool) to form arbitrary images, by carefully carving the surface
of a transparent object;
- Control the appearance of your 3D printed model, including its color,
shininess or translucency.
- Program your 3D print to have a desired deformation and quantify the
perceived force when pressing on it.
- Make your 3D printed ballerina model stand on one leg without falling,
or even spin on it!
- Convert your 3D mesh to machine instructions and knit a jacket for your
pet with now readily available desktop knitting machines.
For this to happen, you will understand:
- Different representations of objects in their pre-fabrication stage.
- Methods of creation of these objects and how the hardware works.
- Modeling the interaction of fabricated objects with the world
surrounding them, such as light, sound and force.
- How humans, as the main arbiters, perceive the fabricated properties.
Audience:
The seminar is addressed to students in computer science and other related
fields who are interested in computational aspects of fabrication. A basic
knowledge from computer graphics, image processing, perception,
differential geometry or optimization techniques is desired, but not
required.
Wikipedia contribution:
Beside from the presentation and active involvement in class, students
will make a contribution to the Wikipedia on the topics directly related
to their presentations, or required background.
The number of participants is limited to 12
