This workshop will focus on three techniques: Rhinoceros modeling software, photogrammetry, and CNC router carving. Participants will learn Rhino modeling processes to craft complex geometric and organic shapes as well as photogrammetry, a technique to create detailed and editable 3D meshes of objects or surfaces. Finally, the workshop will focus on CNC carving, where the digital models are translated into physical objects through the use of computer-controlled machinery. All levels welcome.
