Last week during a Monash University short course I explored the potential of 3D printers in a classroom context. I am particularly interested in using these new tools in the Master of Industrial Design program in China.
Students in the course had been asked on Day 1 to create a 3D package for a 'cookie' using card.
At 9.00am on Day 2 I chose a design concept and by 2pm presented it back to the class as a rendering, CAD model, technical drawing and a 3D print in ABS. We even shared the image of all this on Facebook.
The capacity to 3D print design concepts at your desk is now a reality and is changing the way we teach and learn industrial design.
Thanks to Vincent C for his creative PACMAN concept.
