U Penn students control 3D-printers remotely to complete semester work
At the University of Pennsylvania Weitzman School of Design, students taking part in a Graduate Architecture Program seminar developed by U Penn Professor Ezio Blasetti have found a way to complete work on their 3D-printing heavy design projects despite not being able to physically access the school's fabrication facilities. As part of Blasetti's Computational Composite Form Computational Design & Carbon Fiber Robotic fabrication seminar, faculty and students were able to control 3D-printing robots in the school's new Advanced Research & Innovation Lab remotely through a suite of remote access tools provided by Dropbox. According to the school, "This quick adaptation may signal new ways that universities will need to reimagine learning experiences. With the shape of the fall 2020 semester deeply uncertain, universities may be turning to similar structures to meet studio and practical learning requirements. Given the long term trend towards remote work and robotic fabrication in co...
