Digital fabrication is a technology of model or prototype making with use of digitally defined data. Term Digital Fabrication is strongly related to the CAD/CAM technologies. Technologies of digital fabrication are developed for purposes of industrial design and mechanical engineering, shipbuilding, vehicle and airplane industry, but its implementation in architecture is increasing.
Process of model making via 2D CNC fabrication is based on the principle of cutting and connecting elements from planar materials such as cardboard, plywood, plexiglass or metal sheet. 2D CNC fabrication have important role in contemporary architecture because it allows making facade elements from planar materials such as steel, wood or glass. In this course various workshops were conducted with specific tasks through which the basic skills of modeling and making prototypes and facade elements were mastered.
