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

7. Goldsmith’s art – Iter produce of a florentine style ring – traditional vs 3D supported

7.1 Traditional iter produce of a Florentine style ring

In the following graph, you can see the phases and production times of the ring taken as an example with the traditional method.

Image 7.1

Image 7.2

As you can see the process is done completely by hand, from the preparation of the metal to the cleaning of the finished ring. A good quality goldsmith would take 7-8 days to make it.

7.2 Iter produce of a Florentine style ring (3d modeling/3d printing)

If during the production phases of the ring, it is possible to use 3D modeling software and 3D printing with meltable materials, the graph becomes:

Image 7.3

Regarding the 3d printing phase and the lost wax casting phase, it should be noted that at the same time, large quantities of pieces can be produced. Therefore, during the planning phase, it is useful to organize the work so that it can be possible to reach these phases with many models or decide to address third-party services. In this way, it can be imagined that the actual times for 3d printing and casting of a single piece are paltry.

Image 7.4

With the use of 3D modeling and 3D printing, times have halved. Without taking into account all the benefits that come into the “conception” and “planning” phases we talked about previously.

It is useful to note how the conclusive phases are the same in both processes and that they are purely manual phases, thus maintaining the product under the definition of “handicraft” and “jewel”.
