Overview

After finishing week 3 and 4 which mainly focuses on ‘substractive’ manufacturing, this week, we are exploring a bit more about ‘additive’ manufacturing process, which is 3D printing, and also touch upon 3D scanning.

Please find our group assignment here

Assignments

Group assignment:

• test the design rules for your 3D printer(s)

Individual assignment:

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

Checklist

• Linked to the group assignment page
• Explained what you learned from testing the 3D printers
• Documented how you designed and 3D printed your object and explained why it could not be easily made subtractively
• Documented how you scanned an object
• Included your original design files for 3D printing
• Included your hero shots
