in cooperation with Okinlab
For 3rd year B.Sc. Students and for M.Sc. Students
Instructors: Dr. Jürgen Steimle, Daniel Gröger, Martin Weigel (Embodied Interaction Group, MPI/MMCI)

Description:
A revolution is in the making. New digital fabrication tools enable laypeople to produce physical objects quickly and in high quality. A variety of widely accessible fabrication tools, such as 3D printers and laser cutters can physically realize a digital design. This enables people to realize highly personalized objects, replacement parts, clothing, accessories, and furniture. In addition to passive shapes, recent advances in digital fabrication now even allow for printing of functioning electronic devices.
This "digitization" of production makes personalized production widely accessible: instead of requiring expert skills in a specific physical domain, people can now fabricate their own objects largely by interacting with standard software. This puts Human-Computer Interaction into the center of fabrication, as the software user interface defines what people can fabricate and how quickly and easily they can do so.
The goal of this seminar is to familiarize the participants with digital fabrication, its tools and techniques, and the novel opportunities it opens up. The seminar will consist of a productive mixture of introductory lectures, reading assignments, and a practical group project. It will cover fundamentals, the latest advances in digital fabrication, and provide a hands-on experience with digital fabrication tools in a variety of application domains.
The seminar will be organized in cooperation with Okinlab. Okinlab is a local award-winning start-up that leverages digital fabrication for creating personalized furniture (https://form.bar/).
The class will cover the following topics:
• Overview of digital fabrication
• FabLabs and the maker movement
• Tools and approaches for interactive digital modeling
• Physical fabrication tools: additive vs. subtractive processes, 3D printing, laser cutting
• Digital fabrication of electronic devices: printing customized flexible sensors, displays and actuators
• Latest advances in research on digital fabrication
• Applications of digital fabrication: personalized objects, personalized furniture, wearable computing, interactive objects
