This document summarizes a 3D printing workshop that covered the current state of desktop 3D fabrication and 3D printing. It discussed how 3D printing has evolved from expensive industrial tools to more affordable desktop 3D printers, enabled by projects like RepRap and companies like MakerBot. The workshop taught basics of 3D modeling for printing and discussed how people are using 3D printing for custom enclosures, extensions, branding, and problem solving. Participants learned hands-on 3D printing and were assigned a tutorial to design an object to print.
3D printing or additive physical manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file like a CAD Stereo lithography (SLA). The topic is huge and the
applications include research (so in our school), design visualization, prototyping/CAD/CAM, metal and box casting,
A talk from the http://www.republika.io conference:
You may have heard about recent reports and the debates on gun parts that are printed on a "3D printer". You may have heard about the RepRaps - the home built replicating 3D printers. You may have heard of NASAs plans to send a 3D Printer up to the moon to print out a moon base out of moon dust. You may argue, that this is old trick, since the ability to print out objects made of plastic and other materials have been around for more then a decade. Yet behold. I will prove to you that 3D printing will change absolutely everything. And with that change, a revolution will come, as we (our laws, our welfare systems, our society) are caught unprepared. (As a politician and a geek I will concentrate on the cool stuff, and not tune into the doomsday prophecies chants)
My deck from the #CTpeople MeetUp as part of Digital Shoreditch 2015.
We discussed some of the popular misconceptions around desktop vs SLS printing, how 3D Printing applies to client campaigns, as well as Fashion, Selfies, and of course, #3dprintfails. Just don’t ask me to print a gun!
3D printed cars, homes, prosthetic hands, food, International Space Station tools, and almost anything imagined is now mainstream. 3D printing seems to have taken over the world and 3D printers are now affordable for many consumers. However, basic 3D design principles tend to be neglected, especially in library makerspaces. 3D printing objects work well only when one follows basic fundamentals of 3D design. In this webinar:
- Understand 3D printing and how it works.
- Discover a variety of free 3D design applications and repositories.
- Learn basic 3D design fundamentals (e.g., understanding 3D space and geometry, modeling, surfaces, textures, and rendering images).
- Gain hands-on experience designing a 3D object that can be 3D printed.
Note: it is recommended attendees create a Tinkercad (https://www.tinkercad.com/) account before this workshop.

When it comes to IPRs, 3D printing technologies are a double-edged sword. The ability, for everyone, to manufacture at the touch of a button creates both unlimited potential and significant challenges. Indeed, 3D printing not only brings the opportunities of the digital world to the physical world, but also its challenges, one of which is consumer piracy.
Will consumers tomorrow pirate as many physical goods as they do today with digital goods? If so, what can firms do about it? The IP related issues brought about by 3D printing actually go far beyond that. As consumers become prosumers, key intellectual assets are built upon the wisdom of crowds and the inventiveness of individual customers. Likewise, corporate innovations are often built upon the contributions of several organisations.
In such a context, the questions raised are: ‘what is a good use of IPRs? What is the adequate governance structure? What is the balance between creating value and capturing value?’
The topics discussed in this session are: How businesses can rethink their business models to tackle IP issues; How companies can control information and rights when co-designing products with external parties; How customers’ contributions can be assessed and rewarded within an IP framework.

3D printing (also known as Additive Manufacturing) has attracted a huge amount of interest. Some commentators believe that this technology has the potential to underpin a 'manufacturing revolution'. The truth is more complex and nuanced. 3D printing is not a single technology; it’s current application areas are numerous; and the impact it could have in a variety of sectors is hindered by multiple uncertainties. Researchers at the University of Cambridge and the University of Nottingham have been researching the ways in which 3D printing is changing current business models in a variety of sectors, and exploring the way in which these technologies could have a wider impact. This same team has also been gathering evidence to support the development of a UK national strategy for 3D printing / additive manufacturing. This presentation will provide an overview of the results of this research on 3D printing-enabled business model innovation, and highlight some of the current barriers and opportunities.

3D printing is a budding technology industry that can not be ignored. Even today there are advancements in 3D printing that are changing the way we manufacture goods. It would be imperative to know and understand the fundamentals behind what is causing the signs of the third industrial revolution.
What if you are passionate about 3D printing but can't do CAD. The issue is that to 3D print you need a 3D digital model, not just any model but a watertight solid model in a specific file format. CAD software has been the main way to produce the models for 3D printing and CAD does not fit with many people's way of thinking so they struggle if they get that far!. Fortunately there are now alternative methods of creating and getting models and this presentation, given at the 3DPrintShow 2014 in London, covers those that would be of more interest to applied artists, 3D artists and designer makers. You don’t have to use CAD.

3D Printing
Additive manufacturing, also referred to as three-dimensional or 3D printing, is a process of
making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. 3D printing
is achieved using an additive process where successive layers of material are laid down in
different shapes. 3D printing is also considered distinct from traditional machining techniques,
which mostly rely on the “subtractive processes” of removing material by methods such as
cutting or drilling. A 3D printer is a limited type of industrial robot that is capable of carrying out
an additive process under computer control.
Additive manufacturing takes virtual blueprints from computer aided design (CAD) or animation
modeling software and “slices” them into digital cross-sections for the machine to successively
use as a guideline for printing. Depending on the machine used, material or a binding material is
deposited on the build bed or platform until m ...

As it is common with disruptive technologies, the advent of 3D printing brought with it a variety of legal challenges, including intellectual property concerns. In 2014, the 3D printing technology is not futuristic sci-fi anymore. Goldman Sachs, in a recent Global Investment Research report entitled The Search for Creative Destruction , included 3D printing in a list of seven technologies that are reshaping the way we live and are reinventing, the notion of what’s possible.
This article has two objectives. First, we quickly present how 3D printing works. Second, we discuss how 3D printing is raising new legal issues as it brings sophisticated manufacturing capabilities into the homes and offices of millions around the world and will become the next industrial revolution.
3D printing has been a focal point in library makerspaces for several years; however, it seems that interest in the technology has decelerated. The technology may have slowed down, but there is still a lot going on in this space, which can be overwhelming to keep up with it all. In this webinar:
- Learn what 3D printing is, how it works, and gain insight on how to implement/maintain, and to perhaps build your own 3D printer.
- Get a snapshot of some of the best 3D printers and products on the market, including an overview on resin and carbon printers.
- Discover a variety of 3D design applications to help with getting ideas to working prototypes.
- Study trends in digital scanning and other emerging 3D design/printing technologies.
- Interview an expert 3D designer/printer in the industry to get even more insight into this exciting technology.
As 3D printers are become more affordable and versatile, they are destined to disrupt multiple industries. Here's what you need to know about this quickly accelerating technology.
1. 3D Printing Workshop Designing Digital Media for the Internet of Things (DDiMIT) Consortium Hosted by Bob Ree, MI Candidate, University of Toronto. October 7, 2010
2. Welcome to Desktop Digital Fabrication (DDF) Workshop and research session. Become acquainted with the current state of desktop digital fabrication (focusing on 3d printing). Learn the basics of digital model manipulation for 3d printing. Observe 3d printing in action. Discuss issues & ideas.
7. Background The principle behind many of the ‘additive’ industrial processes involves translating data from digital models and building the object up in layers (much like making a clay coil pot).
8. Background In recent years, rapid prototyping machines have become more compact and available at ‘semi-affordable’ price points, allowing in-house fabrication capabilities for enterprises such as industrial designers, small-run manufacturers, research labs and architectural firms.
9. Culture of tinkering, hacking & DIY Paralleling other grassroots movements such as open source software, peer production platforms and social networks, certain savvy communities turn their attention to the physical aspects of digital culture - appropriating hardware and experimenting with self-made devices.
10. Culture of tinkering, hacking & DIY:RepRap RepRap is a seminal UK-based project that seeks the ongoing development of an extremely affordable, open source 3d printer that is designed to be self-replicating (capable of printing all of its own key structural components).
11. Culture of tinkering, hacking & DIY:“RepStrap” Some choose to appropriate RepRap electronics to make customized Cartesian robots (‘RepStraps’) – in this case, to produce ‘painterly inscriptions’ of financial market behaviors.
12. Towards desktop fabrication: MakerBot Building on the intellectual and physical resources borne of the RepRap project, a team of NYC hackers start MakerBot Industries, a company that manufactures and markets affordable 3d printer kits. (Some assembly required - a kind of “DIY-lite”.) Their mission: to hasten the forthcoming 3D Printing Revolution.
13. Towards desktop fabrication: Thingiverse The folks at MakerBot also realize that once people have 3d printers, they need things to print – but not everyone is adept at 3d modeling. They establish Thingiverse, a user-generated online database of free, ready-to-print models. A kind of “wiki-of-things”.
14. Towards desktop fabrication: Shapeways & Ponoko The race to bring DDF ‘to the masses’ is on. Rather than provide hardware or software, Shapeways and Ponoko launch web platforms aimed at making the outsourcing of digital fabrication much more streamlined, accessible, entrepreneurial and social.
15. Towards desktop fabrication: Co-creation To enable users to customize digital objects without the use of 3d modeling software, Shapeways, Ponoko, StudioLudens and others leverage ‘co-creation’ interfaces through which objects are tailored to a set of preferences, parameters, sketches or other input uploaded by the individual.
16. Towards desktop fabrication: Google While there are countless choices available in 3d modeling software, the barriers to entry are high. Google takes notice, and in attempt to capture the growing market segment, they acquire and develop SketchUp, a free modeling platform billed for ease of use. A user-generated “3D Warehouse” of SketchUp models is also established and linked with Google Earth.
17. What are people doing with DDF? 1. Making custom enclosures.
18. What are people doing with DDF? 2. Extending / connecting things.
23. Tutorial From the ddimitThingiverse account, download and open ‘pendant.aoi’ in Art of Illusion or ‘pendant.skp’ in Sketchup. (username: ddimit password: ddimit) Find a simple object in Thingiverse (preferred) or Google 3D Warehouse that you find either meaningful or useful with respect to your work. Why did you choose this object? Import your thing into the template file. Resize the object appropriately, then place it on the pendant base provided. Export your model as an STL or DAE file, and rename. Open your model in Meshlab and check for printability issues. Save as an STL. Upload your model to Thingiverse. Upload by 7pm and Bob will print it for you this evening!
24. Tutorial Thingiverse Google 3D Warehouse pendant.skp pendant.aoi + meaningful object + meaningful object Art of Illusion SketchUp your_pendant.dae your_pendant.stl *your_pendant.stl Meshlab
30. Discussion http://vimeo.com/12768578 1. What is the meaning of the term “digital object”? What does it mean for a digital object to be “materialized”? 2. How do various populations create and share information in material forms? How does this compare and contrast to the ways in which other forms of information are shared? 3. How does digital desktop fabrication alter notions authorship, intellectual property, and profit? Of work, labor and tools? What are the resultant business models? 4. How might new forms of local manufacturing, design thinking, and community involvement co-produce future social dynamics of labor and the organization of work? 5. What effect might these developments have on the built environment, particularly with regard to issues of economic and environmental sustainability?
