3D printing

Well this is something I´ve never done before! Two weeks into my Masters and I am trying to learn a new computer program in 3D modeling. Being an old lady, it´s taking it´s time 😉 But the fun part is, when I get it right, I can actually print the design in hard plastic in a 3D-printer! Cool…

My thoughts are that I am not used to thinking at all about what I can create in plastic! Normally when I think of plastic, I am annoyed by how much plastic-wrapping there is around everything. So now I have to open up my mind and think in a brand new way. Which is always useful!

Here, the 3D machine is at work. It can make objects of about 20x20x20 cm, but it starts off making a base.

Look at this cute, little box! It´s the prettiest little hard-plastic-box I´ve ever seen! That´s for sure 😉 Next session I hear is making a vase! Phew! This is exciting!

You think I can make myself new glasses??
