The Digital Design and Production Lab (ddplab) engages students in hands-on experiences in digital making and digital fabrication through courses that introduce a diverse set of CNC tools—including 3D printing and scanning, laser and paper cutters, drawing and milling machines, and 6-axis robotic arms.

By integrating traditional making techniques with computational workflows, the lab encourages students to explore and expand design approaches such as parametric modelling, physical simulation, and data-driven fabrication.

Central to our approach is the 3D model as a shared, evolving dataset linking design to production. Through collaboration with studios and research groups, the lab enables students to conceptualize, prototype, and produce architectural artifacts.
