Join Ken Lovell, Associate Technical Director of Yale’s Digital Media Center for the Arts for a disscussion about 3d printing. The conversation will be aimed at people who are looking to enhance their 3d printing knowledge and share learning with others involved in 3d printing.
Ken's Description:
3d printing - Stage 2So, you've got a 3D printer. You've tweaked the output, calibrated the extrusion flow rate and printed the Stanford Bunny. After you've learned a 3D software package, skinned a few NURBS and Booleaned a couple of primitives, what do yo do? Before you lies the blank canvas...What are you going to make?3d printing lets you customize, rebuild, and enhance your world. Do you want to print out a midnight snack in the shape of a double-helix? Or maybe you could fashion a piece of jewelry specific to the band you are going to see tonight? Better yet, you could replace that old broken stove knob with a new one that glows in the dark and looks like the Roman emperor Caligula.3d printers are instigating a practical revolution at the desktop level. It is tempting to imagine a technology that will allow us the ability to personalize our food, clothing, and shelter, the everyday stuff of our lives, according to our tastes, whims and passions. In this lecture we will talk about the all important second stage of 3d printing technology where necessity meets invention.
