💻 Computer Problems?
This wiki is your comprehensive guide to successfully using technology in the College of Design. Whether you're a first-year student learning the basics or a graduate student pushing the boundaries of digital fabrication, you'll find the resources you need to complete your projects efficiently and independently.
Complete Workflow Guides: Step-by-step instructions from file preparation through final output, written by students for students. No technical jargon - just clear, actionable guidance.
Real Solutions to Real Problems: Every guide addresses the actual challenges you face, from Rhino file prep errors to PaperCut authentication failures. We document the problems you actually encounter, not theoretical perfect scenarios.
Emergency Resources: When your project is due tomorrow and the printer isn't working, you need immediate solutions. Quick access to contact information, alternative workflows, and troubleshooting that actually works.
Self-Service First: Learn to solve common problems independently so you can focus on your creative work instead of waiting for tech support.
