Description

App DigiFab, the Digital Design and Fabrication Learning Community at Appalachian State University, is a group of faculty and staff exploring the professional and educational use of computer-aided design (CAD) and digital fabrication hardware used for three-dimensional design, visualization, and fabrication.

The group includes members from the departments of Fine Arts, Applied Design, and Sustainable Technology & the Built Environment, Biology, Theater and Dance and explores multiple applications related to digital design, fabrication, and representation. Any faculty or staff at AppState with an interest in exploring digital design and fabrication are welcome.

For Fall of 23 the group is scheduled to meet on the 1st Friday of the month from 3:30-5pm. We may change the meeting pattern based on input from participants in our first meeting 9/1. We are open to new members and the first meeting on 9/1 would be a good opportunity to meet other participants.
