Assignments
Lingdong Michelle Julia Valdemar
group assignment:
• test the design rules for your 3D printer(s)
individual assignment:
• design, document, and 3D print an object
that could not be made subtractively
(small, few cm3, limited by printer time)
• 3D scan an object (and optionally print it)
