The application of 3D scanning as an Educational challenge

Abstract

Since 2001 we teach students about 3D scanning and 3D printing because of a growing demand in society. This paper will show which methods were explored in the area of evaluating the fit of humanproduct- interaction at Industrial Design Engineering and how 3D scanning and 3Dprinting did make a difference. Ergonomics plays a big role in this process, however in a different and advanced way than before. In general we still teach a human centred design approach in a one of the largest schools in industrial
design engineering in the world.

Practitioner Summary:
This paper is about the experience of a large school trying to teach ergonomics including 3D scanning and 3D printing as tools.
