Title:


    Material is Expensive, But Complexity is Free

Organizer(s)/Presenter(s):



Description:


    In traditional manufacturing, the more complex the shape, the more it costs to make. Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, takes about the same time for simple shapes as for complex ones, but the materials used are more costly. This workshop teaches some design principles and introduces software tools to get the most from 3D printing.
