Machine Lectures

Rapid-prototyping machines can make (almost) anything by building objects layer by layer from a digital design file. This document discusses the history and development of rapid-prototyping, from early pioneers in computer-aided manufacturing like Ivan Sutherland and Douglas Engelbart, to modern innovators working to push the limits of what these machines can produce, such as Adrian Bowyer and George Church. Students taking this class will propose a new capability for rapid-prototyping machines and an application to demonstrate its utility.
