Trouble with Traditional 3D Design 5
manually intensivehard to keep in syncdifficult to learnbrittle – hard to parameterizedisconnected from fabrication
Traditional Fabrication 6
Traditional Fabrication / Manufacturing 7
is manually intensiveis difficult/dangerous/slow to toolshas a distribution bottleneck
What is Computational Design + Fabrication? 8
What is Computational Design + Fabrication? 9
make hardware more like software?automating design + fabricationnew computer based fabrication machinesusing software techniques
Why is it so important? 10
1/4 economy based on manufacturing of physical goodsmany people do repetitive / dull jobstremendous latent creativity
Industrial Revolutions 11
set of technogies that vastly amplify productivity of peoplefewer people in society needed for bare essentials:
food, clothing, sheltermore time spent on
ideas, invention, learning, politics, the arts, and creativity
Previous Industrial Revolutions 12
1 1700s – textiles – invention of invention2 1850s – steel + transportation + assembly line
Third Revolution 13
hardware as softwarejust in time manufacturing
The Economist
Rise of the Artisan 15
affordable JIT manufacturingrise of the artisanincreases entrepreneurshipmass customization
HW as SW + Information 16
designs as information – file formatsnetwork effect – sharingremix culture – rip, mod, fabmanufacture local or global

3D Printing 18
additive manufacturing many diffent kinds
The ten principles of 3D printing ** 19
1 complexity is free2 variety is free3 no assembly required4 zero lead time5 unlimited design space6 zero skill manufacturing7 compact, portable manufacturing8 less waste by-product9 infinite shades of materials
10 precise physical replication
