Week 06: 3D Scanning and Printing
'Group assignment:
- Test the design rules for your printer(s).
- Document your work and explain what are the limits of your printer(s) (in a group or individually).
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, try to prepare it for printing (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).
