About the course

Courses in Digital Fabrication provide students the tools and skills to design and produce parts that start as files in a computer and end as physical objects you can hold in your hand. At UK's School of Art and Visual Studies, we offer classes that teach both the design software for 2D and 3D modeling and the hands-on use of laser cutting and engraving machines, 3D printers, plasma cutters, CNC routers, and more. These tools increase the range of options for making that both art studio and design students can use. In addition to computer-controlled fabrication tools, students can also learn about programming their own circuits with sensors and actuators to control sound, light and motion. Whether you are interested in sculpture, printmaking, book arts, fibers, graphic design, photography, or ceramics, smart tools can help you take your passions further.
