3D Printing Applications

319 個評分

This course will help you understand how 3D printing is being applied across a number of domains, including design, manufacturing, and retailing. It will also demonstrate the special capabilities of 3D printing such as customization, self-assembly, and the ability to print complex objects. In addition to business applications, this course will also examine how individuals, including those in developing countries, are using this technology to create solutions to the problems they face. This course will also provide an overview of design thinking and how you can use this framework to develop ideas that can be turned into objects. Learners who complete this course will obtain a rich understanding of the capabilities of 3D printing and how to think about designing objects for this new technology.

Module 3: 3D Printing for Development and Education

In this module, we will consider the role of 3D printing in revolutionizing education and the role it can play in development in underserved communities in both developing and developed countries.

So in this module, we are looking at how 3D printing can help

find local solutions to local problems.

Now we've seen the uses that 3D printing has been put to in different industries.

We've also heard about how, as an overview, where 3D printing has

been used in education as well and also at sort of the home DIY market.

But we wanted to focus more on how 3D printing creates value for

the community at large.

So we look at some examples how individuals or communities have helped

leverage technology and 3D printing, to create some value for the communities.

One of the projects is actually a part with the MakerLab,

which is the Illinois Marketplace and Maker Literacy project.

And we'll hear from the founders of that project.

Another project that's very inspiring is how 3D printing gets used for

local prosthetics at a global basis with a completely volunteered led effort.

And that's enabled the future project.

We will also try and give you perspectives from across the globe by looking at

examples how projects such as the Protoprint project in India.

Where they are looking at how we can help the people who recycle plastic,

who are very low income, very poor,

often taken advantage of can recycle some of these plastics.

And can work into filament for

3D printers which fetches a much better price in the market.

And we'll also give you a lot of resources where you can explore

such projects across the world in Tanzania and Argentina,

in India of course, and in rural area as well.

Where we are partnering with the Illinois Marketplace and Maker Literacy project.

Finally, we will also look at the role 3D printing has played in education.

And we'll talk to the organization Maker Girls which is again a student based start

up, out of the University of Illinois, and what they are doing to encourage girls

to get into STEM, which is science, technology engineering and mathematics.

Girls aged seven to ten.

And again they are using 3D printing as the context.

We will also hear on the use of sort of design thinking and

3D printing together to motivate children to learn about science,

technology, engineering and mathematics.

And many of the resources in this module will point you to

several other projects that people are trying out in different schools.

So join us in this journey.
