6.8420 Computational Design and Fabrication
(
)
(Subject meets with 2.0911[J], 6.4420[J])
Prereq: Calculus II (GIR) and (6.1010 or permission of instructor)
Units: 3-0-9![]()
Introduces computational aspects of computer-aided design and manufacturing. Explores relevant methods in the context of additive manufacturing (e.g., 3D printing). Topics include computer graphics (geometry modeling, solid modeling, procedural modeling), physically-based simulation (kinematics, finite element method), 3D scanning/geometry processing, and an overview of 3D fabrication methods. Exposes students to the latest research in computational fabrication. Students taking graduate version complete additional assignments.
