(DANSK VERSION NEDENFOR)
PLATFORM4 INVITES THE FUTURE INSIDE WITH 3D-PRINTING FESTIVAL FOR EVERYONE
One the very frontline of contemporary technological innovation lies 3D printing. Using liquid plastic instead of ink, as ordinary printers, 3D-printers can print physical objects such as plastic cups and jewelry in just minutes. Already at this point experts are predicting that within just a few years will be able to print light bulps, toys, clothing and all other kinds of daily life items - simply at the click of a button. Such development will change the very framework for our economy. This new development is what we want to focus on with this 3D-printing festival, PRINT YOUR LIFE, in PLATFORM4.
The festival runs over three weeks and includes a series of workshops, lectures and 3D-printer interaction and play - as well as the opportunity to build your own 3D-printer to bring home with you. Among the workshop instructors are the Danish 3D-print producer Søren Ellemann Hansen from the Danish 3D-printer manufacturer THY 3D, who will introduce participants to his printer models, and tell about the future of 3D-printing in Denmark.
3D-printing is for everyone
No skills are necessary to join the fun in this festival, and the very basic idea of the festival is to present the 3D-printer phenomenon for regular people. For example, there will be a workshop where participants will learn to use a 3D-printer to make cookie cutters, and another one where you'll be introduced on the most basic level to the drawing software that is used to design new objects.
Get help and build your own 3D-printer - to bring home!
For those interested it is possible to sign up to get a build-your-own-3D-printer-kit, which we will help you assemble - so you can bring home your very own 3D-printer. PLATFORM4 has ordered a batch of builder-kits that are available for only 2.000 kroner, and we'll help you put it together in a series of building workshops during the festival.
PROGRAM
The festival consists of workshops, lectures and 3D-printing play-sessions - as well as 3D-printer building sessions.
Wednesday November 7, 15.00-18.00:
Talk: Thy3D presentation about 3D-printing in Denmark (by Søren Ellemann Hansen, Thy 3D)
One of Denmarks producers of 3D-printers will be giving an introduction to the concept and tell about his experiences building and selling 3D-printers - among other with success on foreign markets, who have shown fine interest in his brand, THY3D.
Thursday November 8, kl. 15.00-18.00:
Workshop: Make designs with 3D-software (by Yngve Stensaker, TS Collective)
Graphic designer Yngve Stensaker will be giving a basic introduction into various drawing software that can be used to make designs that are printable on 3D-printers. In this workshop participants will be given insight into the functionality of such software and learn about what challenges different file formats, export options and geometrics pose. There will also be given brief info about the creation of printer-friendly meshes.
The relevant software includes AutoCad (native), 3ds Max (native), Google Sketchup (plugin necessary). We encourage that participants bring their laptop (and install Google Sketchup, which is open source software - and therefore free to download).
Sunday November /11, 12.00-15.00:
Workshop: Print your own cookie cutter (by Thomas Petersen & Lina Bergstrøm, Platform4)
3D-printing can be used on any level in society, especially in the kitchen. In this workshop participants will learn to design and print their own custom made cookie cutter, which they can bring home afterwards. A perfect idea for a very special christmas gift, or an opportunity to spice up the christmas cookie making at home.
Sunday November 11, 15.00-17.00:
Talk/workshop: Intro to 3D-printing for regular people (by Thomas Petersen & Lina Bergstrøm, Platform4)
Does 3D-printing sound like something only scientists and experts can understand? It is most certainly not - 3D printer is for everyone. Now you have the opportunity to learn more about this new technology. This workshop will focus on the practical level and gain insight into what opportunities 3D-printing holds, which will lead to questions such as: How will 3D-printing develop in the future, when we all have one at home - and how will that influence you? What opportunities lie in home production on such a level?
Wednesday November 14, 14.00-15.00:
Talk: Who owns the ideas? (by Lina Bergstrøm, Platform4)
With a departure in the so-called 'open source' and 'freeware'-movements we will discuss ownership, ethics and idea development. We will give an introduction to basic ideas behind these movements and look at the open source manifest, where sharing trumps ownership. We will also look into business strategies based on open source principles for 3D-printing, and inspire how to approach business development in a fashion that is more in tune with todays technologies that makes it possible to share information and designs indefinitely.
All in all we'll discuss what opportunities and limitations we meet when wanting to take action on our ideas.
Wednesday November 14, 15.00-17.00:
Workshop: 3D design for artists (by Thomas Petersen & Lina Bergstrøm, Platform4)
Are you an artist or creative person? A 3D-printer can build objects made from plastic based on computer designs, and for this session we'll put away clay, leather and other craft materials and replace them with 3D models and liquid plastic. We will explain how the machine works and together we'll figure out what opportunities playful people can make from this technology within their art form. We will ask you what you think is interesting to experiment with and during the course of the day we'll demystify 3D-printing and give you insight into how you can use it.
Tuesday November 20, 14.00-15.00:
Talk: The Future of 3D-Printing (by Jeremie Pierre Gay, Create It Real)
3D printing is an amazing technology that has enormous potential to change our lives. Why is 3D printing called the third industrial revolution and how is going to make us live longer? What are the challenges that needs to be overcome so that everyone has access to a 3D printer at home? Jeremie Pierre Gay, 3D printing expert and founder of the Create It Real startup, will be discussing all those issues in a passionate talk about 3D printing at home, direct electronic printing and organ printing.
Tuesday November 20, 15.00-16.00:

Talk: Share your creativity with the world; introduction to Creative Commons (by Christian Villum, Creative Commons Denmark)
Sharing has become an integral part of our daily lives, especially with the introduction of social media. But often such sharing often makes us violate copyrights - in particular within areas such as film, photography, music, books and other creative works. Creative Commons is a non-profit global organization that offers a series of free tools that content creators can use to embrace information sharing by enabling the sharing of your works while protecting their creative rights.
Wednesday November 21, 15.00-17.00:

PLATFORM4 INVITERER FREMTIDEN INDENFOR MED 3D-PRINTER FESTIVAL FOR ALLE
På den allerforreste frontlinie af den teknologiske udvikling ser vi nu såkaldte "3D-printere" storme frem. 3D-printere printer med flydende plastik istedet for blæk, og kan derfor printe fysiske objekter såsom eksempelvis plastikkopper og -smykker i løbet af få minutter. Eksperter spår allerede nu at man indenfor få år med få klik med musen kan printe elpærer, legetøj, tøj og alt muligt andet som vi bruger i hverdagen. En sådan udvikling vil ændre hele vores samfunds-, økonomi- og forbrugsstruktur, og det sættes der nu et nysgerrigt fokus på med 3D-printer festivalen PRINT YOUR LIFE i PLATFORM4.
Festivalen vil bestå af en lang række workshops, foredrag og mulighed for at afprøve 3Dprintere - og sågar, for de mere dristige, muligheden for at bygge sin egen 3D-printer til at tage med hjem. Blandt workshop-instruktørerne er den danske 3D-printer producent Søren Ellemann Hansen fra den danske 3D-producent THY 3D, som vil introducere nysgerrige deltagere til hans dansk-producerede printermodeller, og fortælle om fremtiden for 3D-print i Danmark.
Alle kan være med
Alle nysgerrige kan deltage i 3D PRINT YOUR LIFE-festivalen og hele idéen med festivalen er at præsentere 3D-print fænomenet for helt almindelige mennesker. Eksempelvis vil der være en workshop hvor man lærer at bruge en 3D-printer til at lave kageforme, og en anden hvor man introduceres til de tegneprogrammer på computeren, som man bruger til bringe idé til virkelighed.
Få hjælp til at bygge din helt egen 3D-printer - til at tage med hjem!
De endnu mere nysgerrige inviteres til at samle deres helt egen 3D-printer til at tage med hjem. PLATFORM4 har indkøbt en bunke byggekits, som man kan købe for blot 2.000 kroner, og efterfølgende samle i PLATFORM4 under kyndig vejledning.
PROGRAM
Festivalen består af 3 uger med workshops, talks og mere mere:
Onsdag d. 7/11 kl. 15-18:
Talk: Thy3D præsentation om 3D-print i Danmark (af Søren Ellemann Hansen, Thy 3D)
Én af Danmarks producenter på 3D-printerområdet vil give en introduktion til begrebet og fortælle om hans egne erfaringer og projekter med 3D-printing, bl.a. den udvikling hans virksomhed THY3D oplever i øjeblikket, ikke mindst på eksportområdet.
Torsdag d. 8/11 kl. 15-18:
Workshop: Lav designs med 3D-software (af Yngve Stensaker, TS Collective)
Grafiker og designer Yngve Stensaker giver her en basal introduktion til forskellige 3D-tegneprogrammer, som man kan bruge til at lave designs, der kan printes på en 3D-printer. I denne workshop vil der blive kigget på nogle af disse, og kigge på hvilke udfordringer der ligger i forskellige filformater, eksportmuligheder og geometri. Der vil også blive kort indsigt i skabelsen af printer-venlige meshes.
Nogle af de programmer der vil blive kigget på er AutoCad (native), 3ds Max (native), Google Sketchup (plugin nødvendigt). Det anbefales at tage laptop med (og gerne installere Google Sketchup, som er open source software og derfor gratis).
Søndag d. 11/11 kl. 12-15:
Workshop: Print din egen kageform/Cookie cutter (af Thomas Petersen & Lina Bergstrøm, Platform4)
3D-printing kan bruges på alle niveauer i vores dagligdag, ikke mindst i køkkenet. I denne workshop vil deltagerne lære at designe og printe deres helt egen kageform, som efterfølgende kan tages med hjem. En perfekt idé til en julegave eller mulighed for at lave helt personlige julekager derhjemme.
Søndag d. 11/11 kl. 15-17:
Talk/workshop: Intro til 3D-print for almindelige mennesker (af Thomas Petersen & Lina Bergstrøm, Platform4)
Lyder 3D-print som noget kun forskere og eksperter kan forstå? Det er det bestemt ikke - 3D print er for alle. Nu har du muligheden for at lære mere om denne nye form for teknologi. Vi vil bevæge os på et praktisk niveau, hvor vi tidligere på dagen eksempelvis har eksperimenteret med at lave kageforme. Dette vil forhåbentlig give dig en større indsigt i hvilke muligheder der ligger i 3D printning, og lede videre til en række nye spørgsmål: Hvordan vil 3D-print udvikle sig i fremtiden, når vi alle får én derhjemme og hvordan kommer det til at påvirke dig? Hvilke muligheder ligger der i denne form for hjemmeproduktion? Disse spørgsmål vil vi prøve at diskutere i fællesskab.
Onsdag d. 14/11 kl. 14-15:
Talk: Hvem ejer idéerne? (af Lina Bergstrøm, Platform4)
Med udgangspunkt i de såkaldte 'open source'- og 'freeware'-bevægelser vil vi diskutere ejerskab, etik og ide udvikling. Vi vil give en introduktion til de grundlæggende tanker bag bevægelsen og se på open source manifestet, hvor deling kommer før ejerskab. Vi vil også forsøge at klarligge eksempler på open source forretningsstrategier med udgangspunkt i 3D-printeren. Dette kan være en inspiration til hvordan man håndterer forretningsudvikling i et mere tidssvarende perspektiv, hvor computerkraft gør det muligt at dele information (og 3D-designs) uendeligt. Her foruden vil vi overordnet diskutere hvilke muligheder og begrænsninger vi oplever, når vi ønsker at fysisk manifestere vore tanker og ideer.
Onsdag d. 14/11 kl. 15-17:
Workshop: 3D design for kunstnere (af Thomas Petersen & Lina Bergstrøm, Platform4)
Er du kunstner eller har du et kreativt hovede? 3D printeren kan bygge objekter i plastisk ud fra 3D modeller, og derfor skifter vi for en dag ler, læder og andre lignende materialer ud med 3D modeller og varm plastik. Vi fortæller dig hvordan sådan en maskine virker og finder i fællesskab ud af hvilke muligheder legende og kreative mennesker har for at kunne anvende denne teknologi i deres udtryk. Vi spørger dig om hvad synes du der kunne være interessant at eksperimentere med. Dagens resultat skulle gerne være en form for afklaring og afmystificering af 3D printning og en indsigt i hvad denne teknologi kan gøre for dig og din kreativitet.
Tirsdag d. 20/11, 14.00-15.00:
Talk: Fremtiden for 3D-Printing (af Jeremie Pierre Gay, Create It Real)
3D printing is an amazing technology that has enormous potential to change our lives. Why is 3D printing called the third industrial revolution and how is going to make us live longer? What are the challenges that needs to be overcome so that everyone has access to a 3D printer at home? Jeremie Pierre Gay, 3D printing expert and founder of the Create It Real startup, will be discussing all those issues in a passionate talk about 3D printing at home, direct electronic printing and organ printing.
Tirsdag d. 20/11, 15.00-16.00:

Værktøjerne som vil blive diskuteret er bl.a. 123Make, 123Catch, Meshmixer, netfabb, Photoscan, Sketchfab og J3Dilla.
Geraldine vil også supplere Thomas Petersen som medvært for prototyping workshoppen fra 21.-23. november.
Onsdag d. 21/11 kl.14-15:
Talk: Del din kreativitet med verden; introduktion til Creative Commons (af Christian Villum, Creative Commons Denmark)
Deling er blevet en fast del af vores hverdag, ikke mindst med sociale medier. Men ofte betyder denne deling faktisk at vi bryder ophavsretten, uanset om der er tale om film, billeder, musik eller andre kreative værker. Creative Commons har skabt en række værktøjer, som man som skaber kan bruge for at løse dette problem. Med værktøjerne kan man både lade Internettet dele sine værker, men samtidig beskytte sine rettigheder.
Onsdag d. 21/11 kl.15-17:
Workshop: 3D Rapid Prototyping, del 1 (af Thomas Petersen, Platform4/AyoTech og Geraldine Juarez, FAT Labs)
