Project description
In this practice-oriented course, we develop creative end effectors for a three-axis plotter. The aim is to get to know the machine and its programming in a playful way and to turn your own ideas into functional tools.
Together, we program and execute paths for the machine. Then we explore the possibilities for alternative end effectors.
The movement sequences of various creative tasks are first analyzed by hand and then digitally replicated so that the machine can execute them.
Whether it's a pen for drawing, a needle for tattooing, or a machine that automatically paints fingernails—the possibilities are virtually endless. Through experimentation, construction, and testing, students deepen their understanding of robotics, mechanics, and digital control and gain direct access to the interface between technology and creativity.
