HOW TO MAKE (ALMOST) ANYTHING & THE FAB LAB    
This course provides a practical introduction to digital fabrication resources, including CAD/CAM/CAE, NC machining, 3-D printing and scanning, molding and casting, composites, laser and waterjet cutting, PCB design and fabrication; sensors and actuators; mixed-signal instrumentation, embedded processing; wired and wireless communications. Develops an understanding of how these tools work through practice and integration with functional systems. Instructors: Neil Gershenfeld, J. DiFrancesco (from MIT Media Arts and Sciences Fall 2012 MAS 863 course description) To learn more about the Fab Lab visit: fab.cba.mit.edu
