This course will introduce students to the tools, work-flows, and culture surrounding computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and its creative applications within architecture. Students will learn how to work with CAD/CAM technologies such as laser cutters, three-dimensional (3D) printers, and computer numerical control (CNC) routers while expanding their knowledge of two- and three-dimensional CAD geometries that inform the digital fabrication process.
