Create product designs that can be shared and produced worldwide through digital CNC router fabrication
The open source design philosophy and its digital production possibilities are paving the way for more sustainable and collaborative design and manufacture, making it accessible to those in need and starting a dialogue with different cultures. This is a fundamental pillar in the work of Denis Fujii, founder of STUDIO DLUX and creator of the Valoví, the world's most downloaded open source chair that can be manufactured digitally.
In this course, design a piece of furniture or decorative object that can be produced using a CNC router and easily shared worldwide. Denis guides you through each stage, from the initial design using a CAD software to the creation of each piece for CNC cutting.

O curso cumpre o que é prometido. A única ressalva foi minha expectativa. Eu esperava mais interação com o movimento "Maker" e um pouco de mais profundidade nos CNC Routers. Mas isso não conta para a avaliação. Expectativa é algo efêmero e que, muitas vezes, afetam a percepção.
Recomendo o curso a todos que gostariam adentrar esta seara.

Il corso è ben fatto, chiaro ed esaustivo. Apre le porte a un modo di concepire il mercato diverso e decisamente interessante. Molto utili, seppur solo accennati, gli aiuti pratici per fare gli incastri con il cad.
