hayley's hand - learning to build your own 3d printer in a day
TRANSCRIPT
The design and manufacture of Hayley's hand was led by Frankie Flood, associate professor in the
Digital Craft Research Lab
at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Achieving the final design of Hayley's hand involved a process of line drawings, cast making and
computer-aided design (CAD) software.
"After I printed the parts they scrambled to complete their first hand build as I walked them
through the processes of assembly, stringing and final finish.”
"It was a crash course, but they managed everything well.”
-Frankie Flood
“The Maker culture is a contemporary culture or subculture representing a technology-based
extension of DIY culture that intersects with hacker culture (which is less concerned with
physical objects as it focuses on software) and revels in the creation of new devices as well as
tinkering with existing ones. ”–wikipedia.org
3D printers are growing every day.
According to Wohlers Report 2014, the worldwide 3D printing industry is now expected to grow from $3.07B in revenue in 2013 to $12.8B by 2018, and exceed $21B in worldwide revenue by 2020.
Prototyping, Product Development and Innovation are the three most common reasons companies are pursuing 3D printing.
those surveyed in a recent Gartner study, 37% had just one 3D printer within their organizations, with 18% owning 10 or more. The average number of printers per organization was 5.4
(not so) Basic Concepts
Additive Manufacturing
Selective laser sintering (SLS)
Stereo lithography (SL)
Fused deposition modeling (FDM)
FDM works on an "additive" principle by laying down material in layers; a plastic filament or
metal wire is unwound from a coil and supplies material to produce a part.
