‘3DPix’ - Design thinking for desktop personal 3D-printers–a project oriented training method

Abstract

This paper introduces ‘3DPix’ a new Project Oriented training method that integrates and interacts between personal 3D printer and design thinking processes, when using grafting method as a creative platform for innovative product design. The integration of personal 3D orienting praxis with Insertix model enrich ideation processes with varied alternatives. Through detailed prototype designer can examine well function and form in his output along creative process. 3DPix offers hundreds by hundreds of “jumping together” stimulus that helps ideates from human-center design and advance technology gap by embracing personal and cultural perspectives as well.
