Associate
Professor Robert J. Fakelmann,
assisted by Assistant Professor William
T. Willoughby, has received a $112,000.00 grant from
the State Board of Regents Support Fund in order to purchase
state-of-the-art 3-D printing technology (two Z-Corporation
3-D Printers) and upgrade the School's current 3-D modeling
software and site licenses. The technology will be used to convert
digital 3-D models into printing codes that facilitate rapid
prototyping of precision-crafted physical architectural models.
This is the second in a series of grants received by Professor
Fakelmann, who previously received a $123,000.00 grant in order
to purchase 3-D digitizing arms, CNC Routing equipment, and
related software. It is professor Fakelmann's intent to build
upon the achievements of both grants by realizing a crucial
instructional goal: establishing a studio-based core component
of instruction that facilitates the production of physical architectural
models from digital sources, while concurrently offering innovative
paradigms for architectural practice that will impact the region.
