18. Wildcard week

Due date 2024/05/14

Learning Objectives

  1. Individual assignment
    1. Design and produce something with a digital fabrication process (incorporating computer-aided design and manufacturing) not covered in another assignment, documenting the requirements that your assignment meets, and including everything necessary to reproduce it. Possibilities include but are not limited to wildcard week examples. sand blasting

This week, we learn to use a machine in our FabLab inventory that FabAcademy does not cover.
