Instructor: Nicholas Putnam
Saturday, November 4th, 10am – 1pm
Saturday, November 11th 10am – 5pm (students will need not be present outside of printing their work)
This workshop is limited to undergraduate students from SEAS (School of Engineering and Applied Science).
This workshop is a partnership with the Reef Makerspace at SEAS and serves as an introduction and fun opportunity to learn about the Ceramic Program’s new LUTUM® v4.6 3D clay printer. You will learn about basic modeling tools and design preparation. You do not need prior 3D modeling software experience to explore this new tool. You will start with a simple, hand-drawn sketch and transform it, with the help of the instructor, into a file that the printer will use to create the object.
Session 1:
* 3D clay printing (overview, 3D ceramic artist inspiration)
* Lutum 3D Printer (printing demo, printer and process description)
* Design (overview of the 3D modeling process and tools, overview of the non-modeling sketch requirements to submit for the print)
The students would have three days to submit the design for the printing either as a hand sketch or 3D model file. The instructor will then prepare all the files for the second session.
Session 2:
The second session would start with the discussion about incorporating 3D printing into the student's workflow, overview of the submitted work and printing.
There may be time for students to work on their own work in the studio while other student projects are printing. You will leave with a 3D-printed vessel or object that you can combine into personal handbuilt or thrown work.
Cost: Free for Harvard College Undergraduates enrolled in a SEAS class. Cap of 12 students.
