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

8. The modern goldsmith’s workshop

As previously noted, the introduction of 3D modeling and 3D printing in a production process makes it possible to implement production, reduce time, optimize production processes, reduce costs, etc. But turning a traditional laboratory into a laboratory that uses these modern technologies is difficult? It is expensive? Does it involve radical changes in space? The answer is simple and is “no”.

Considering what has been explained up to this point of 3D modeling and 3D printing, one can confidently say that to transform a “traditional” workshop into a “modern” one, it is sufficient to provide a position for design, 3D modeling and 3D printing. Which translates into a workstation with a computer, in which to install appropriate software and a 3D printing station. Considering the current costs and volumes of these instruments, this operation is within everyone’s reach.

Other tools, such as laser scanners or other, are optional and depend on strategies and economic availability, and personal choices.

The technical skills required for managing 3D printing are small.

The separate discussion concerns the skills required for those who work in 3D modeling that require time and application, however considering how the 3D modeling software is becoming easier with the passing of the years this obstacle is not so insurmountable.
