Digital fabrication is a technology that directly shapes things from digital data, and includes 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC milling machines, digital sewing machines, etc. It also includes 3D scanning, which converts the shape of existing objects into data.
In this lecture, we will focus on ``3D printers,'' which have the characteristics of digital fabrication equipment, such as not producing trash, making no noise, and being easily transportable, and taking advantage of their ability to be updated repeatedly. In this lesson, students will gradually develop a simple flower pot into something more complex.
By doing so, you will acquire the most important skill for utilizing 3D printers, called "iterative prototyping."
