Week 05: 3D Scanning and Printing




This week we got the following tasks:

  • Test the design rules for your printer(s) (in group)
  • Design and 3D print an object (small, few cm) that could not be made subtractively (individually).
  • 3D scan an object (and optionally print it) (individually).

Our Setup

Which printers we have, which we used. Also talk about filament (normal kind, support kind, ...)

General 3D printing process steps: (Paulina)

  • Depending on printer sent file, (how & which file/software)...
  • Adjusting buildplate
  • Changing filament
  • The print itself
  • Possible problems
  • Retrieving the print.

Design Rule Testing

First what is it & how to measure it?

Our process ... (designs, mistakes, etc.)

Our results ... (different materials)
