Build digital skills. Share what works.

The course teaches algorithmic modeling in Grasshopper, from basics to advanced techniques, including useful add-ons. It connects modeling with additive manufacturing, emphasizing "additive rules" for design. Students will create wall panels from a shared base module, forming a larger composition. Final designs will be fabricated using FDM in the additiveLAB at strojLAB.

Target: University students

This hands-on workshop introduces participants to the practical integration of Generative AI into business processes. Participants learn how AI can support process optimization, automate individual work steps, and increase efficiency in everyday work. The workshop provides an overview of current AI tools, introduces basic prompting techniques, and guides participants through the development and optimization of an AI-supported process. In addition, relevant legal frameworks such as the EU AI Act, data protection requirements, and copyright considerations are addressed.

This workshop provides a practical introduction to CNC-based manufacturing using a CNC Shaper. Participants learn how the mobile CNC cutting system works and explore its applications in woodworking, product design, prototyping, and maker projects. After an introduction to CNC technology, machine operation, and essential safety procedures, participants create or adapt a digital design and prepare it for machining using CAD and vector-based software. In the practical session, participants manufacture their own project with the CNC Shaper, gaining hands-on experience in material preparation, machine setup, and precision machining. Throughout the workshop, they follow the complete workflow from digital design to finished product. Example projects include: • Creating a personalized wooden sign or logo • Manufacturing a small furniture or design element • Engraving a customized workpiece • Developing a simple prototype
