Mass Customization with 3D printed systems

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Ken Wronkiewicz

Home: California, United States

It may be tempting to 3D print the same thing again and again, but it is cheaper and faster to make the same thing using molding techniques. In order to really use the unique advantages of 3D printing, printed objects should be unique. They should be customized to an person or small group of people's needs. At the same time, getting good at CAD isn't easy. However, there are physical systems, generated by code or parametric modeling, that work with 3D printing's core advantages and are easier to use. I'd like to show off some of the community-generated systems for organization that take advantage of this mass customization such as the Honeycomb Storage Wall and the Gridfinity system, along with metal extrusions, as an example of how to take advantage of 3D printing's unique advantages
