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.
