Assignments for Feb 18

• Read this chapter on bio-printing from Hod Lipson’s book Fabricated. It should give you context for next week’s guest speaker.
• Write up a short post (1-2 paragraphs) on an innovative fabrication project or product that inspires you. You can take an example from the partner exercise, the reading, or choose your own.
• Take your fabrication project further by designing something simple on your own, trying to fabricating it, posting something brief about it (i.e. a picture and some comments), and bringing the artifact to class. You can use any CAD software you like, but here are some recommendations if you need a place to start.
  • 3D printer: TinkerCAD (or any of the Autodesk 123 series), Dassault SolidWorks, Autodesk Maya
  • Laser cutter: Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
  • Silhouette Curio: Silhouette Studio, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
  • CNC mill: Autodesk 123Circuits, Cadsoft Eagle, Adobe Illustrator
