3D Modeling, Printing, & Casting I

Emphasis on the role new imaging technologies play in analog sculptural processes. In this course students will learn how to take advantage of new imaging tools such as 3D modeling and 3D printing and apply it to the traditional art ofmold making and casting. The course will explore the rudiments of 3D modeling, how to prepare 3D files for 3D printing using Fused Deposition Modeling, the basics of molding models in various materials and the unique properties of casting in those materials. Students will study the aesthetic qualities of sculptural form as well as the technical aspects of the imaging process.
