Principles and Practices
Week 01
My assignment was to plan and sketch a potential final project.
Searching for the idea
Weeks before the Fab Academy started, I was already thinking intensively about my final project. I had many conversations about it and looked through the Internet in search of an exciting topic and project with major potential.
I had several requirements for my final project. On the one hand, I had a strong focus on 3D printing in combination with 3D scanning, which can result in individualized products with added value. I really wanted to choose a project, which can be individually manufactured, but I didn’t want to develop shoes or glasses, so I continued to look for opportunities for customized products in the area of application for 3D printing. On the other hand, the project should also include electronic components. I wanted to work on a project, which offers potential for the integration of artificial intelligence, but also has an influence on me, ideally on my health.
One week before the Fab Academy the idea came finally up: The smart and individualized office chair
