Build digital skills. Share what works.

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.

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

You already know the CAD basics — now it is time to move into professional digital production. This three-day course takes you from the digital model to the finished workpiece: planning the machining, defining the toolpaths, verifying every detail in simulation, and safely operating the milling machine. Day 1 covers the fundamentals in the classroom: how milling works, how to choose tools and cutting parameters, how to design a part that can actually be machined on a 3-axis machine, and how to build, simulate and post-process a complete CAM job in Autodesk Fusion 360. Between the sessions, every participant prepares their own CAM jobs — one for aluminium and one for wood — as homework. Days 2 and 3 are spent at the machines in small groups: the DMG MORI M1 metal mill and the BZT PFU-S2 CNC wood router. Working from the safety and operating instructions of each machine, participants carry out every step themselves under supervision — workholding, setting the workpiece zero, checking their own G-code against the machine, starting and supervising the job — and produce their own designed parts in metal and in wood.
