![]() ![]() This limits most people to being merely consumers, rather than designers or makers. ![]() However, most users that wish to design functional moving devices face a prohibitive barrier-to-entry: they need fluency in a computer-aided design (CAD) package. The conclusions derived include suggestions to exploit the potential brought by these technologies and their applications.Īdditive manufacturing (AM), or 3D-printing, sits at the heart of the Maker Movement-the growing desire for wider-ranges of people to design physical objects. The research concluded with significant implications of additive manufacturing having the potential to cause paradigm shifts in industrial designer’s role, definition of the profession and design process. These identified examples were then used for a qualitative evaluation on the implications of additive manufacturing for the industrial design profession and designers through semi-structured interviews conducted with seven professional industrial designers having experience with rapid manufacturing in Istanbul Turkey. Expanding literature survey with on-line searches, several experimental and commercial application examples of rapid manufacturing of products were identified. Through a literature survey, implications of additive manufacturing technologies on industrial designers and industrial design profession were explored. ![]() The purpose of this study was to investigate the implications of additive manufacturing on industrial design profession and designers through an explorative study. ![]()
