Week 5 Introduction

Assignments

Group assignment:

  • Test the design rules for your 3D printer(s)
  • Document your work on the group work page and reflect on your individual page what you learned about characteristics of your printer(s)

Individual assignment:

  • Design and 3D print an object (small, few cm3, limited by printer time) that could not be easily made subtractively
  • 3D scan an object (and optionally print it)

To do:

  • Link my group assignment page. ✅
  • Explain what I learned from testing the 3D printers. ✅
  • Document how I designed and 3D printed my object and explained why it could not be made subtractively.✅
  • Document how I scanned an object.✅
  • Include my original design files for 3D printing.✅
  • Include my hero shots.✅

Learning outcomes

  • Identify the advantages and limitations of 3D printing
  • Apply design methods and production processes to show your understanding of 3D printing.
  • Demonstrate how scanning technology can be used to digitize object(s)
