This collection of projects focuses on a wide range of digital fabrication techniques, including FDM 3D printing with multiple filament types; robotic fabrication using various end effectors such as light bars, extruders, and carvers; laser cutting in various materials; and vacuum forming.
These projects include both self-directed work and coursework from the Master of Architecture program at the University of Michigan
