Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machines are everywhere. Since the invention of the first CNC milling machine at MIT in 1952, engineers are able to automate different “Tools” with speed and precision — CNC laser and plasma cutting, milling and turning, welding by robotic arms, sheet metal bending, spinning, punching, fiber placement, assembly line pick and place, etc.
Theory lectures combined with lab sessions introduce the mechanical and electrical systems in a typical CNC machine (i.e: a laser cutter). Students (in groups of two) will build a 2 axis CNC pen plotter and program the machines to make drawings that will be exhibited. Students are encouraged to come up with ideas to modify the machine for other novel applications, such as CNC milling, rotary axis, paint brush etc.
Notes:
End-of-course exhibition depends on gallery availability
Enrollment limit 12 students; if enrollment exceeds quota, selection based on application
There will be two TAs assisting instructor
No out-of-class work required
Geared towards design students with no prior knowledge of robotics

We understand art though our senses, we see, we touch and experience the artwork. In this workshop, we will investigate the spatial dimensions of senses through the use of physical and digital computing. Students will work on an artwork of their choosing to translate it to an interactive piece with integrated electronics. We will examine its sensory qualities, and translate it to an interactive installation-- such as kinetic structures, interactive lighting, or an acoustic installation-- through an iterative making process. They will learn how to use a laser cutter and a 3D printer to materialize their ideas. We will learn how to use Arduino for integrating various sensors, lights and actuators into their physical interactive projects.
Materials and electronics will be provided.
Students will present and exhibit their work in front of invited reviewers.
All courses are welcome.
** Please contact Dina El-Zanfaly, dzanfaly@mit.edu , Cagri Zaman, Zaman@mit.edu , to enroll by January 9. Enrollment limited to 12.
The class will not meet on Monday, January 18 as the Institute observes the Martin Luther King holiday.
