Fabrication Laboratory

Fabrication Laboratory

This PITF project created information and consolidated online resources for all model and prototyping resources at the GSD - including tutorials, sign-up sheets, webcams, information data, and user settings on how test to use and implement the resources such as the cnc tools, robotic devices,laser cutters, 3D rapid prototyping, and digital input devices.

Teaching Challenge:

This evolving online website aimed to consolidate information and tutorials of all the GSD modeling and prototyping facilities and resources to provide users with the foundational knowledge and methods to visualize concepts into actual prototypes.
