Week 05 — 3D Scanning & Printing

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, document 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)

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)
