" Customizable Snowflakes"
Imagine and create unique snowflakes
Event Description:
The Customizing Snowflake Workshop is an interactive, hands-on event that introduces participants of all ages to the exciting world of 3D printing. Attendees will be guided through the process of imagining, designing, and creating their own unique snowflakes by selecting and combining various pre-printed 3D components. The workshop fosters creativity, learning, and problem-solving in a fun and educational environment.
Target Audience:
This workshop is suitable for all ages—families, children, teenagers, and adults. No prior experience with 3D printing is necessary. Participants will work at their own pace to design their snowflakes, making the experience accessible to beginners.
Learning Objectives:
  • Introduction to 3D Printing: Participants will learn the basics of 3D printing, including how 3D printers work and the different materials and technologies used.
  • Creativity and Design Thinking: By combining pre-printed parts, participants will be able to express their creativity and decision making, while exploring concepts such as symmetry, geometry, and structure.
  • Hands-on Learning: By assembling their own snowflakes from pre-printed 3D parts, attendees will gain a tactile understanding of how digital designs are transformed into physical objects.
  • Collaboration and Sharing: Participants will work together, share ideas, and see how different combinations of parts lead to unique designs.
Expected Outcomes:
  • Participants will leave the workshop with their own custom 3D printed snowflake.
  • Attendees will have gained an understanding of the basics of 3D printing, design, and creativity.
  • The workshop will promote STEM education in an engaging and accessible way, fostering interest in technology and design.
Conclusion:
The customizable snowflake workshop is a fun and educational experience that will inspire creativity and spark an interest in technology. It provides an excellent opportunity for a wide audience to participate in hands-on learning while exploring the exciting potential of 3D printing.
Example of customized Snowflakes:
Circular Plate with 5 sides
Circular Plate with 6 sides
Circular Plate with 7 sides
Snowflakes consist of a central plate and branching arms. Users can choose which plate to customize for their snowflake design.
Arm Version A : 5 sided
Arm Version A : 6 sided
Arm Version A : 7 sided
These are examples of snowflakes after the pieces have been assembled, allowing users to explore geometry, symmetry and balance.
Arm Version b
Arm Version c
Arm Version d
There are total of four snowflake arm variations, and users can choose their preferred shape.
arm D variation-1
arm D variation-2
arm D variation-3
Within Arm D, users can create further variations using fillers and explore the concept of negative space.
Arm A + B
Arm A + C
Arm C + D
Here comes the fun part! Users have the opportunity to mix different arms and fillers to further design their own unique snowflakes.
Color Variation 1
Color Variation 2
Color Variation 3
Users can further customize their snowflakes by using different colors.
Color mix Variation 1
Color mix Variation 2
Color mix Variation 3
Users can explore choice of color using symmetry or asymmetry.
