DIGICRAFT 5.0 – Expert Designer in Digital Fabrication

DIGICRAFT 5.0 trains an Expert Designer in Digital Fabrication with advanced, industry-relevant competences for multiple manufacturing contexts, aligned with Industry 5.0. The professional profile blends artistic practice, digital design and computing with traditional and innovative craft techniques, enabling integrated work across complex design-to-production workflows.

Learners will master the properties and processing of traditional materials (wood, ceramics, metals, glass, textiles), while operating CNC machinery, collaborative robots and additive manufacturing systems, and using leading 2D/3D modelling, CAD/CAM, simulation and rapid prototyping software.

Consistent with a human-centred Industry 5.0 approach, the designer will be able to integrate digital technologies and AI with craft processes—using generative AI and design-support AI for concept creation, project optimisation, product personalisation and user-experience improvement—aiming to deliver sustainable, inclusive and innovative artefacts that balance creativity, function and efficiency.
