Course detail
CNC Machining / Robots in Artistic Practice
FaVU-CNCAcad. year: 2020/2021
The course offers an introduction to how industrial robots can be utilised in artistic practice – in sculpture and object making. The course introduces students to 3D machining and its possibilities. Following topics are to be touched upon: work safety in a robotic workplace, robot programming, 3D model preparation for machining, model import into Autodesk PowerMill, NC path generation, simulation and modification robot movement, preparation of the robot for work, selection and preparation of material for machining, practical exercises in 3D machining.
