PGCC Digital Fabrication Workshop - 06
PGCC students including students in the VisComm specialization within the Department of Art, Music, and Philosophy had some of their 3D designs fabricated as physical objects using rapid prototyping machines through the University of Michigan 3D Lab. This workshop was funded through a Trailblazer Grant awarded to Ed Johnston by the Teaching Learning Center at Prince George’s Community College. Some students had never used 3D computer graphics software before. Other students were quite experienced. The modeling for these designs was done either in Autodesk Maya or Lightwave. Materialise Magics software was used to clean and hollow the designs for fabrication. The machines used to fabricate these objects were Z Corp Z printers (plaster) and Stratasys FDM machines (plastic).
