A comprehension of the integration processes between the cam / cad technologies is made through software analysis, hardware and the intrinsic possibilities of different materials in the conformation of urban-architectural models. This stage is characterized by the generation of “internal” demand jobs from DepInfo itself. Highlights: Ovo and Moebius, research models for the XVI Iberoamerican Congress of Digital Graphics in Fortaleza; the realization of the model of Payssé House; the generation of models at visualization scale and the study of details, for the Real de San Carlos building.

Gradually, jobs and assignments begin to be processed at the request of students or teachers of the different disciplines that make up the school. This period allowed information spreading through publications and exhibitions: the dictation of the first optional course “Design with digital manufacturing” (DFD_01) in the school, which allowed a wide dissemination of the possibilities for the use of the laboratory; development of projects for the Montevideo Seminar, for the Vilamajó House Museum, as well as models for the exhibition “La aldea feliz” presented at the Uruguay Pavilion for the 14th International Architecture Exhibition “La biennale di Venezia”.

As a result of the project “Registration, Prefiguration and Materialization of the Form”, which was carried out in 2013 and funded by CSIC, Fab Lab MVD manages to expand the technological equipment by acquiring a 3d printer and a laser cutter. In this period, characterized by the deepening of research into Digital Fabrication technologies, SIGRADi international committee accepted the realization and organization by the DepInfo of the SIGraDi congress. – XVIII SIGRADi Congress “Design in Freedom” in our house of studies, which also leads to the materialization of the traveling exhibition UTHOPIA. – UTHOPIA: The unbuilt, increases the dissemination of Fab Lab MVD functions among teachers of different areas and undergraduate students. – On the other hand models are generated, through an agreement with the Design Institute, for the itinerant exhibition “Cooperativas Habitacionais no Uruguai, Meio Século de Experiências”, organized by the Permanent Housing Unit of the School of Architecture, UdelaR and the Escola da Cidade of Sao Paulo, which opened in the city of San Pablo. A series of sculptures by General José Artigas that were part of the “Herencia Blanes” exhibition by visual artist Fernando Foglino, made in the Contemporary Art Space, in its 16th season, were digitally manufactured using different technologies.
