3D Brand Object Activity for IS 2200

Task: Design and print a 3D object that communicates your personal brand.
Learning objective: The student will gain direct, hands-on understanding of the process of designing and building using digital 3D technologies.

3D Printing
Digital three-dimensional (3D) technology has become practical for businesses and society due to advances in computers and robotics. We see those new innovations in virtual meetings, gaming, supply chain management, marketing, surgery, and other areas using interaction via virtual reality (ie. interacting entirely in digital spaces), augmented reality (i.e., overlaying digital onto physical objects and spaces), and reality (i.e., making digital objects into physical forms). New possibilities in all areas are emerging with these new tools. Companies make these tools and need employees who understand them. Investors must assess the potential. Business people need to evaluate, purchase, and deploy them into operations, products and services. For all these reasons, it is time for us to learn about digital 3D technology to prepare you.

You are learning both the design and printing in this activity. If you get excited, know that KSU has 3D labs and printers that can handle even the most demanding jobs and materials. See in the 3D lab located in Burruss 465 for more information. For online sections you may find more 3D printing information at this

This assignment takes approximately an hour up before submitting to print. Be sure to give yourself enough time to complete the assignment prior to the due date and time.

Requirements
1. Make a 3D design for a business card, name plate, or key chain to use as a marketing product.
2. Design must include at least two letters representing your initials.
3. Maximum size: 100mm x 50mm x 15mm (4 inches wide x 2 inches long x ½ inch high).
4. It must have a flat side on the bottom so that it will easily stick to the printer bed.
5. Slice the design to prepare it for printing and send it to a 3D printer.
6. Complete parts 1 and 2.
