Drawing Across the Disciplines: 3D Prototyping and Printing – Oct. 2, 2024
Session Description
October 2 2024 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
The Centre for Research & Innovation Support (CRIS) presents the next session in the Drawing Across the Disciplines series, 3D Prototyping and Printing. In this session, we explore the full range of three-dimensional printing, from using specialized software to design the object, to choosing the best type of material to use for printing, to thinking with this new technology to tell us things about our past technologies.
Faculty panelists, drawn from the fields of Dentistry, Book History, and Adaptive and Participatory Design, each use the affordances of 3D printing in their research practices. The session will provide insight into the uses of 3D printing’s rapid prototyping, explore how they use this medium in their research portfolios, and offer ways to begin to integrate 3D printing in an emerging research project.
As with past the Drawing Across the Discipline sessions, this webinar will be followed by a hands-on, limited enrolment workshop on October 23rd. Stay tuned for details and how to submit expressions of interest.
Panelists:
- Marco Caminiti, Faculty of Dentistry (marco.caminiti@utoronto.ca)
- Samar Sabie, ICCIT UTM, Daniels https://samarsabie.com/research/
- Paolo Granta, Book and Media Studies, St. Michael’s College (http://individual.utoronto.ca/paologranata/ book printing)
Learning Objectives
At the end of the webinar participants will:
- Gain a deeper understanding of 3D printing in scholarly contexts
- Explore how to use 3D printing to rapidly prototype projects and work through research questions
- Be able to identify 3D and MakerSpace resources available across the tri-campus
- Differentiate elements of 3D printing that are unique affordances of this medium
- Compare different disciplinary uses of 3D printing in research programs
