Introduction to digital prototyping tech
This module presents state-of-the-art technology for 3D design and printing and gives some links to other sources, where one can find more information in this fields. AUTHOR OF THE MODULE: Stavroula Sokoli

New Artisans
This module focuses on implementation of the 3D design and printing in present artisans work. The field of artisanship is very vast and it is not possible to analyse (as well as make a list) all the jobs that can be defined as "artisans". We have chosen for this module the most characteristic fields then. After recalling the most important information regarding 3D modelling and printing, we present in details, how 3D technology changes jewellery-making process. We give also some hints regarding implementation of this innovation in other handicraft works, like those using leather, wood, metal, glass and ceramics as raw materials. The artisan production is closely connected with other sectors, and we have to consider that the development of 3D modelling allows a greater integration of these fields with undeniable benefits in all sectors. For this reason, the field of architecture and interior design in which artisan production is a strategic factor has been also considered as an example.

Youth creativity in the digital age
The aim of Module III is to present one of the possibilities, how the Module I and Module II can be implemented in small makerspace for and with young people interested in different implementations of 3D modeling and printing techniques. On the basis of workshops run in our 3D laboratory in Wadowice, we prepared practical lessons on how to introduce this interesting subject to your students or lab members. Following the lessons you will get information on how to start teaching 3D design and printing and what steps you can take in order to encourage people to create their own models. We are presenting here examples of specific activities on several different subjects and requiring specific skills going beyond 3D design. Finally we are giving here some tips on evaluating the process and showing potential advantages of learning 3D techniques for entrepreneurship possibilities. AUTHOR OF THE MODULE: Łukasz Putyra

16. 3D Printing in architectural field – communication and analysis

16.1 Communication

Today we have a wide range of mediums to represent, develop and communicate ideas. Models are arguably one of the most capable for visualising and communicating. Types and uses of models are not always essential for project development, but their strength as a platform for analysis and discussion is undeniable. 3D printing only serves to increase the capacity for exploring and design in 3 dimensions.

16.2 Refinement in the communication of a design

3D modelling and 3D printing may be used in the craft/artisan domain as are being used today in the architectural field in a final stage for presentation and marketing.

16.3 Analysis

Possibilities opened by the 3D design and printing:

– The possibility of studying design variables quickly and easily.
– One can actually see and compare alternatives.
– Transform a sketch into an actual object.
– Recurrent tryouts, anticipating errors.
