Return to: Programs
The 3D Digital Fabrication and Design Certificate combines creative and practical arts to prepare students for a wide range of careers. Courses focus on both aesthetic and technical aspects for designing, prototyping and fabricating original ideas. Through this Certificate students will gain experience in the artistic design process and the methods to create those designs utilizing digital software and production tools. This series of six courses will cover the uses for both additive fabrication (3D printing) and subtractive fabrication (laser cutting and CNC routing) that can be applied to one’s own studio design practice as well as innovative industrial and product design production.
All students who wish to receive a Certificate in 3D Digital Fabrication and Design must complete 24 Visual Arts credits with a cumulative grade point average of 2.30 (C+). The 24 credits must consist of six courses taught in the Visual Arts department. Candidates for the certificate must obtain a Visual Arts faculty advisor. The certificate is designed for students seeking to learn the 3D fabrication and design process: 3D software, graphic design, 3D printing, use of computer aided fabrication, CNC router, laser cutters and 3D printers. These will all be applied to sculpture and graphic and product design projects that students in the program will be expected to produce.
