Important note: Please bring a laptop and if you can, download and install Fusion360. Here's the link: http://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/overview . You just need to click the “download free trial” button.  It’s a bit of a misnomer – it’s the full software. I like to use a mouse with CAD programs, but that's up to you. 

This is a pre-conference workshop led by renowned Rhino trainer Andres Gonzalez. Design and concept development come to life in numerous real-life examples in this workshop that introduces participants to the logic and principles of parametric created 3D-Forms.  

1) Bring your own laptop. Basic knowledge of Rhino highly recommended. 
2) Must have Rhino 5 and Grasshopper already installed For Rhino 5 downloads, please visit: http://www.rhino3d.com/download For Grasshopper for Windows: http://www.rhino3d.com/download/grasshopper/1.0/wip/rc For Grasshopper for Mac: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/page/grasshopper-for-mac 
You can install a 90-day trial version of the application.

The Technology Center is a 10 minute walk from the JB Duke hotel. There are also shuttle buses available.

Take 3D design files and machine them with subtractive technologies. In this workshop, participants will import 3D design files (.stl or .objformat) into Vectric CAD/CAM software and prepare them for machining in wood, foam or plastics. We’ll talk bits, feeds, speeds, and toolpathing strategies.Topics of discussion will include how to integrate digital fabrication (additive and subtractive) with Common Core, NGSS and Project-Based Learning. THIS EVENT IS OFF SITE:  Transportation – Join the carpool sign up for the tour and stay for the training, or come on your own. We’ll get make arrangements to get you back to the JB Duke Center or to the airport after the training if you need a ride.
