Hi, I am Ritik and I am going to talk about 3dprinting and digital creation.
The presentation is about us, you and me.
First I will introduce myself.
Then I will tell you something about me and 3dprinting
Then I will talk
about 3dprinting and digital creation
and finally I will tell you what you can do with digital creation
Before we start: anyone know what 3dprinting is?
So you make something on the computer
and the
printer prints it layer by layer
then you get
the model you have created on the computer
Who am I?
I was born in 2000 and
computers and digital things existed from before I was born, so I'm
a digital native: someone who is naturally familiar with digital stuff.
at TEDxKids@Brussels I joined ....
I participated at the first TEDxKids@Brussels and the theme was there
Makers
and that
Joris Peels came to do a workshop on 3d printers:
very interesting machines that materialise something on your computer is a real thing
the most important thing I learned was that you should not be afraid to fail
and that you had to learn from your mistakes and move on.
After TEDxKids@Brussels I actively started helping with
TEDxYouth@Flanders
not just me but also my sister and my father
now I will tell you about me and 3dprinting
at TEDxKids@Brussels
Joris Peels gave a workshop on 3dprinting.
As homework, we had to make something in 3dtin: a very simple website
to build something block by block.
I had the idea: there is nothing to do with my name on it so why not make
Glasses with my name
The glasses became so famous that they were exhibited at the local Modern Art Museum in Antwerp.
After I had designed the glasses,
it was pretty simple to make other things
And over time there were also better apps and websites that allowed you
to design stuff like the old guys did: in CAD.
bitten by the virus, my father quickly bought me a 3dprinter.
it made a lot of noise and printed only ten centimeters by ten centimeters
by ten centimeters
but 10 by 10 by 10 was enough space to go lots of fun stuff.
Once 10 by 10 by 10 was no longer enough,
We bought a larger printer: 25 by 25 by 30 would be big enough
and two printheads to do more complex things
3dprinting and digital creation
Before 3dprinting existed,
the world was very different. If you designed something on the computer,
Then it stayed on the computer. If you wanted to bring to the real world
the machines were very costly.
a 3dprinter was only for a small group of people.
with 3dprinting, you can design something on the computer and print it in any size
3dprinting compared with music
There are 3 kinds of people in this world
ninety percent of the people are consumers who want to only listen
to a song on iTunes.
Then there are mash-ups
people who will take two existing songs and mix them
into a new song.
then there are creators:
Who do the effort to make their own music.
3dprinting compared to erm ...
digital creation compared with 3dprinting:
there are people who will go and print something from thingiverse
when they need it.
then there are mash-ups
You take existing models from thingiverse and stick them together.
A good example is myrobotnation
by 3dsystems that allows you to create your own robot.
Then there are creators who make their own stuff.
but if you look closely
if you look at the size of these boxes, the creators
and mash-ups much larger. Why?
because 3Dprinting is very cheap and easy
you can make something.
Take the example of the man on the last slide: he was playing music
in San Fransisco on his iPad
no guitar, no drums, no musiclessons
Just an app of 15 euros and creativity
digital creation and you:
3Dprinting is easy and cheap. There are a lot of
3d models online
you can share your work with others
and they can put their ideas on your model
There are very easy mash-up tools
and also very easy
creator tools.
and you don't need a printer. the only thing you need is an idea
So my conclusion is
beginning with 3d printing now. Now that your teacher does not tell you how to.
Now that there are no rules.
Break with conventions, there are no impossible ideas.
You can share your work with others and they can put their ideas on it.
They can make your work even better.
use mash-up not only for 3dprinting but for everything
for photos, music
Special thanks to Joris Peels and TED for opening doors to a new
world.
To iMaterialise for bringing my glasses from digital to reality.
Jason Lopes to show me that 3Dprinting and digital creation is used in the
movies a lot already.
Scott Summit to show that 3dprinting can even give people
a better life and that 3Ddesign is going to be very important.
Autodesk Gallery for a very broad view on 3dprinting, which can be used
from
luxury watches to electric race cars.
And Assa ashuach to show me that you should keep your creations digital
as long as possible.
Because that's where the cool things happen.
Thank you for your attention and start creating digitally now.
