5. 3D Scanning and printing

Instruction

Group Assignment

  • test the design rules for your 3D printer(s)
  • Document your work and explain what are the limits of your printer(s) (in a group or individually)
  • Document your work to the group work page and reflect on your individual page what you learned

Individual Assignment

What I did in Week5

  1. Test the 3D Printer : Angle, Overhang, Bridge, Wall-thickness, hole test → In this page
  2. Design and 3D print an object → individual page
  3. 3D scan an object, try to prepare it for printing → individual page
