Assignments

Here you can find a recording of the lecture from the 19th of february.

This week's assignments and learning outcomes, see here:

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)

Questions to be answered/from Nueval:

Have you answered these questions?

  • [] 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
