Medical implications
“The baby’s parents took him to the emergency room where it was determined Kaiba would require a splint being inserted in order to hold open his bronchial tube, to hopefully allow the tissue to grow and heal around it properly. Doctors decided to use a 3D printer to create the splint as time was of the essence in order to Kaiba to survive his ordeal.Kaiba was first imaged in order for technicians to get accurate dimensions to then have those measurements used to create a computer model, which acted as the blueprint. With that information, the 3D printer was able to print out the custom splint doctors needed in about a day.”

Filaments
PLA Filament
• Polylactic acid is a thermoplastic polyester
• Made from renewable resources and biodegradable (http://goo.gl/6Tln1H)
• Safe for Food Contact• Roughly: 20 / lb (hard), $30 /
lb (soft)
ABS Filament
• Impact resistant and tough• Hard & Glossy• Petroleum-based• Flammable• Prone to cracking if cooled
too quickly• Usually bends before it
breaks• Has a strong, toxic smell• Strength is relatively equal
to PLA• Roughly $20/lb http://goo.gl/McxHzl
3D Templates
• thingiverse.com• 3d.si.edu • Paid: shapeways.com
(can also sell here – think Etsy for 3D printers)
Available software• 3dtin.com• Tinkercad.com• Sketchup• OpenSCAD • Wings3D• Scupltris• Autodesk 123D • Blender project.

TinkerCad
• Free• Easy to Use• Basic Functionality
OpenSCAD• Open Source• Uses Code instead of freehand
SketchUp
Blender (Blender.org)
Tips• Patience the learning curve
is high• Design in Orthogonal View• Uses Units, for ease 1 unit
= 1mm• Use Makerware Software for
size

Beyond 3d printers: What else in a makerspace?
What’s a Hackerspace?• community-operated
workspace• Computers• Technology• Science• digital art• electronic art, • meet, socialize and/or
collaborate• Many participate in the
use & development of • free software• open hardware• alternative media Source: http://goo.gl/6QrWQ Image from http://goo.gl/v3aMNa
DIY – Anything goes
• Robotics • Building Drones• Creating Clothes• Creating Medieval Armor• Jewelry Making• Papercraft• Culinary Arts•What else?

Why should you have a Makerspace?
Evolving from Consumption Space to a Creator Space
Image from: http://goo.gl/OTGn4W
Play = Learning
Image from: http://goo.gl/v1uWM5
• “learn how to use tools and processes to help them reach their own goals and realize their own ideas”• “shared spirit, ethics, discipline, mutual respect, reciprocity, self-directed learning”

Participatory Learning
o Heightened motivation and new forms of engagement through meaningful play and experimentation;o Learning that feels relevant to students’ identities and interests;o Opportunities for creating using a variety media, tools and practices;o Co-configured expertise where educators & students pool their skills and knowledge and share in the tasks of
teaching & learning;o An integrated system of learning where connections between home, school, community and world are enabled and
encouraged

Allentown Public Library
“The library is in the learning business, not
just the book business,” said Director Jeff
Krull.
“Allen County collaborated with TekVenture, an educational nonprofit specializing in makerspace technology, to create the lab. Working off a simple one-page agreement, TekVenture agreed to provide the trailer, along with the equipment and some free programming, and Allen County offered free parking.”

Best Practices
Makerspaces & Libraries
Designing Space
• Flexible• Room for “Hang Outs”• Lots of Electric Outlets*• Sealed Concrete Floors recommended• Easy to access supplies/cleaning equipment• Good ventilation• Space for hardware/Space for play
Images from http://www.flickr.com/photos/raster/
* Is needed - 220 volts or even three-phase power.
Furniture
• Workbenches/Long Tables• Shelving for storing supplies & ongoing projects• Whiteboards (or Idea Paint!)
Furniture can be used or made

Equipment
• Equipment for each Maker Station
• Cleaning Tools• Collaboration Tools• Laptops with specialized
software• Handy?

Makerspace Rules
Everyone is a Maker • Our world is what we make it. • If you can imagine it, you can
make it. • If you can’t open it, you don’t own it. • We share what we make, and help
each other make what we share • We see ourselves as more than consumers—we
are productive; we are creative. • Makers ask, “What can I do with what I know?” •
Makers seek out opportunities to learn to do new things, especially through hands-
on, DIY (do-it-yourself) interactions. • The divisions between subjects like math and
art and science dissolve when you are making things. Making is an interdisciplinary
endeavor. • It’s all right if you fail, as long as you use it as an opportunity to learn
and to make something better. • We’re not about winners and losers. We’re about
everyone making things better.• We help one another do better. Be open, inclusive,
encouraging and generous in spirit. • We celebrate other Makers — what they make,
how they make it and the enthusiasm and passion that drives them.
