A book by Erin E. Riley from CMK Press. Available at Amazon.
Integrate STEAM into your school through arts-based maker projects using digital fabrication tools commonly found in makerspaces like 3D printers, laser cutters, vinyl cutters, and CNC machines. Full-color pages showcase the artistic and technical work of students that results from combining art with engineering and design.
The Art of Digital Fabrication makes the case for design and making art with digital technology and provides the resources for bringing that work to life. Written by an educator with extensive experience in art and maker education, this volume contains over twenty-five makerspace-tested projects, a material inventory for digital fabrication, guides for designing with software, and how-to’s for using digital fabrication machines. This book will get those new to technology started with tools for making while offering seasoned makers experimental approaches for fabrication with materials found in the art studio.
*I love this book!!* It provides a vision of maker education that is completely original and mind expanding. The book is gorgeously designed, as well as brimming with ideas and projects. The projects themselves are wonderful—Erin’s work, and that of her students, is utterly unique and beautiful. And, there is so much here! Each project is full of revelations—particularly about inventive uses of tools and materials—and there are so many of them! It would take years of exploring to do justice to all of the ideas and techniques covered in this book.
