10am - 5pm : Making the virtual tangible: directions towards home 3D printing
Why would you wish to make your own objects?
Would you know how to visualize them?
If they already existed, is it cheaper than buying them?
How would you go about designing them and does anybody (apart from those hired to do so) actually do this?
Is it possible to create objects out of thin air?
Do people really print out objects they find in video games?
Discover answers and get involved with the home-built machines that are evolving (daily) and reproducing to meet this challenge; machines which make their own parts and which can print out nearly any conceivable object. Find out why they have not yet taken over the planet and prepare to design and create an object relevant to you.
11am-3pm
Half hour slots available with:
Lizbeth Goodman, Leslie Hill, Kristina Nyzell, Suzanne Stein, Clilly Castiglia, Esther MacCallum-Stewart, Susan Kozel, Camille Baker, Jacki Morie, Lucy Hooberman, Joanne Harrison
