The 3D - Printing - Life 

 Description of the challenge   I used the tool of visualization to achieve a better understanding of the problem , why there are n’t 3D   printers in every home today . 3D printers are a very good prototyping tool but the so called ‘ 3D   printing revolution ’ has n’t happened yet . I thought about the time somebody spends when he   creates a three - dimensional object and the time he waits for the finished print . For every hour I gave   one negative point . I gave positive points for the possibilities that you have when you just buy a   product or when you create it on your own . I also gave one point for every product on the largest   online store ( Amazon ) and one point for every 3d - model on ( one of ) the largest 3d - model - database   ( Turbosquid ) . Then I multiplied the result with the price of an example product ( In my case a   Raspberry Pi Case ) . 

 Description of Visualization ( Week 1 – Video 1 “ Visualization Tool ” )   Visualization is a powerful tool to share ideas . When a group of people see a picture , they see it in   the same way . They see the same colours and the same shapes . They also get an instant impression   of the subject . When you have a graph or a diagram , the presented information is better to   understand than when you just use numbers . I used it for the challenge because of the instant   impression someone gets . I used a simple diagram to simplify the problem . 

 Application   I applied the visualization tool to the challenge by simplifying the problem of the ‘ 3D printing   revolution ’ and creating a formula . Then I visualized the formula with a diagram .      T1 :    Time somebody spends creating the product 

 T2 :    Time he waits for the finished products 

 P :    Possibilities of creating products . 

 No :   Number of 3D - Objects I find online . 

 pr :   The price of a reference product , that I can find on Amazon and Turbosquid 

 Normal Product   3D printed product 

 T1   0 h   ~ 20 h 

 T2   48 h   ~ 16 h 

 P   120 ( difficulty points )   20 ( difficulty points ) 

 No   229 Million   800 000 

 pr   6,96 $   30 $ 

 -T1 - T2 - P+No/1’000’000 - pr   ~54,04   ~-85,2 

 Of coure this is a simplification of the actual problem , but when you look at the numbers and , on the   diagram , you will see the difference between the two methods . 

 Insight   The insight showed me that there is a lot to do , when it comes to 3d - printing . Creating models has to   become easier , printing has to become faster and the price of 3D - Models has to become lower . The   insight effected my thinking in a way , that do n’t believe in a 3D - printing - revolution until somebody   finds a better way of creating 3D - models and a new way of printing . Amazon ( for example ) is a great   shop when it comes to buying stuff without caring about every aspect of your product . 

 Next time   Next time I will use the same tool . Visualization is a great tool to get an insight into a problem . The   difference between the two ways of buying products showed me that there are a lot of unsolved   issues . I would create more complex models and go even deeper into the challenge .
