For our final, we (ideally) have to do a piece that can only be made as one piece via 3D pr!nting. So essentially, it should be able to move back and forth, etc. It's interesting because a LOT of people only do 3D pr!nted stuff that essentially is like a static chunk, like a cheapo conversation piece for your mantelpiece or something like that. This encourages us to think about something that would have to be built in two parts and either welded together, etc, if made out of actual materials like metal or wood, but with 3D pr!nting can be printed as one piece but is able to (due to tolerances, etc) move or change in some way. Pretty neat if you ask me. It's problem-solving; which I think is what design is all about.
