Technology Apocalypse

“DIY it’s in our DNA”

“DIY its in our DNA”, a quote heavily recognized within the culture of New Zealand. DIY creates a sense of satisfaction that is not provided when purchasing a product produced and crafted by an external source, that is why us New Zealanders love it so much. DIY was not always a favorable concept for industrial design as it was more efficient to purchase goods from a mass producer as buying raw materials without any process would be more costly than purchasing the product from large companies whom mass produced the same desired product for the consumer. Although as times have past the tables have turned as mass production will soon see no future as consumers will be able to make their own products in their own households as technologies which were previously untouchable by the average person is now accessible for everywhere and for everyone. In the past DIY was traditionally a process from which instructions were necessary and with the combination of raw materials, time and effort you could make almost anything with your bare hands, but now it is as easy as having a file and clicking “print”!

Refinement

“DIY it’s in our DNA”, DIY heavily influences New Zealander’s culture as we would much rather rectify a damaged product than purchase a replacement.

Three Dimensional Revolution

3D printers are effectively just amazing, they can produce anything you require from so many different material bases, creating cogs to repair mechanical components of your toy to a full sized car! “Three dimensional printers have built guns, bikinis, shoes, egg cups and iPhone cases. But one New Zealand man has taken the next big thing to the next level. He is printing a car”, how many people born from the early 19^th century can say they have seen a machine print out the shell of a full sized vehicle. Ivan Stentch has taken 3D printing to the extreme with his 3D printed Aston Martin, which is just the start of the revolution, which has many more extremes to come.

3D printers are easily accessible, reasonably prices and cheap to run. The advantages for 3D printing is endless, including revenues looking into making the most accurately design products with a small margin of era and having fully customizable designs and products to scream your individuality and imagination. “Ask a factory today to make you a single hammer to your own design and you will be presented with a bill for thousands of dollars. The makers would have to produce a mold, cast the head, machine it to a suitable finish, turn a wooden handle and then assemble the parts. To do that for one hammer would be prohibitively expensive. If you were producing thousands of hammers, each one of them would be much cheaper, thanks to economies of scale. For a 3D printer, though, economies of scale will matter much less. Its software can be endlessly tweaked and it can make just about anything.”, express how 3D printing is slowly going to trump mass production and soon every house hold will have a 3D printer ready to create any shape, form or design desired.

Refinement  

Obtaining a gun is now as easy as owning a 3D printer and clicking the “print” button. 3D printing has infinite possibilities as you can print anything the user desires with multiple materials. The possibilities are endless.

DIY and 3D Printing Integration

Integration of DIY and 3D printing opens a whole new world for industrial design and creating consumer products. Consumers who wish to DIY can differentiate the original process and take out the section for raw materials as you can go straight from creating or downloading a file to being one step away form printing the perfect product desired. 3D printing not only creates DIY for new products but also for fixing broken products, which is also a major part of New Zealand culture. A 3D printer can easily print that cracked piece form your favorite bowl or the perfect screw head piece to access what’s locked behind. 3D printers are soon to be a product, which you will find, situated in every household situation next to your ink printer ready to unleash your dreams and potential.

Refinement

Integration between 3D printing and DIY culture creates a new era in which consumers can print products opposed to buying them from mass producers. This also creates an easy way to rectify broken products accurately and efficiently.

Efficiency is everything

Consumers are very conscious of the smallest details when it comes to sustainability and the efficiency of a product from the start to the finish of production. Mass produced design is extremely inefficient with large amounts of waste material and the high use of resources when producing these goods for us including postage and travel cost. 3D printing is an effective mean of producing goods with no waste which makes it extremely efficient especially in contrast to mass production as that has a number of negatives which effort the sustainability of future design.

With a number of different 3D printing materials including plastics, metals and dio-degradable biopolymers your design can be printed to exactly what is required from you the designer. “The 3D production ecosystem will have major effects in each of the three major stages of the design-build-deliver model. It will change the nature of design, it will increase the interactivity between design and production, and it will radically localize manufacturing.”

Refinement

Efficiency is everything; in this era consumers are aware of the effects on the environment, 3D printing is extremely efficient and is bringing an end to mass production.

Individuality

New Zealanders love being exclusive and expressing their individuality. 3D printing makes this easy, as everyone becomes a designer when they are behind the screen creating their individual products to be printed. With the use of many CAD software available on the market it is extremely easy to create anything you want which screams you individuality.

As well as creating your own files to print there is a large online data base for all your DIY needs, websites such as www.grabcad.com provides a database on which you can upload your files for other people to down load to use and even then the files are further customizable to be made to your prefrences. “More recently, digital media, such as social computing and other collaboration technologies, have increased participation in DIY endeavors by providing newer and often more powerful digital tools and new ways to share information.20 Kunznetov and Pau- los argue that “an emerging body of tools allows enthusiasts to collaboratively critique, brainstorm, and troubleshoot their work, often in real-time. This accessibility and decentralization has enabled large communities to form around the transfer of DIY information, attracting individuals who are curious, passionate, and/or heavily involved in DIY work” express the large online community that promotes DIY and 3D printing.

Refinement

Everybody wants to express individuality to be different from everyone else, 3D printing creates a new way to express your individuality as the possibilities of your designs are limitless, as everybody becomes a designer

 Conclusion

Every household should contain a 3D printer, as there are many beneficial aspects including being efficient, sustainable and expresses individuality. 3D printers are easily accessible and help to reduce waste through mass production. Every New Zealander needs a 3D printer to aid and assist their DIY addiction.

Refinement

Every household should have a 3D printer next to their ink printer, to unlock the potential of everyone being a designer.
