Prof Dip in Digital Making
This programme shapes learning that is rooted in harnessing the opportunism opened up by digital, technological and ecological fabrication across creative practice.
The programme is delivered under the Creative Futures Academy, a dynamic partnership between NCAD, UCD and IADT.
Contemporary methods of fabrication, such as 3D printing and laser cutting have changed not only how objects are produced, but have amplified what, and how, artefacts can be created or manufactured. With that, so too our perception, understanding and interaction with objects has moved toward questioning materials, necessity, traceability, impact, use/re-use and needs.
As modern fabrication technologies continue to advance, the worlds of making, design and manufacturing are changing and merging into something much more seamless. Through an approach that blurs traditional boundaries between art, design, engineering, fabrication and manufacturing, this pathway positions learners to grow a practical understanding of future-facing techniques that enable new, bespoke, on-demand, flexible and sustainable forms of making, production, manufacture and creation.
The programme prepares participants with the practical and theoretical means to develop contemporary creative practice and theory within a specialist award, while benefitting from a broader interdisciplinary creative discourse and community of practice.
