E-Commerce: Custom Keychain production project by 20k445DesignerTek

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This project is designed to introduce students to product design and production with 3D printing. The lesson focuses on the business aspects of 3D printing where students
pretend their group is part of a 3D design company that provides customers and businesses 3D models based on their specifications.
The project focuses on creating a keychain with the Company Logo.
The teacher will be the client and declare what should be on the keychain.
Students will use their prior mathematical skills to calculate how many items can be printed at once, based on the area of the build plate and their 3D design. Additionally, students must determine how much the keychain would cost them to print and how much to sell them for in order to earn a profit (10%, 35%, and 70% profit).
Students will utilize Excel or Google sheets to determine the number of items can be printed within the build plate area, and the cost of each item.
This lesson is one module of the introduction to 3D printing section of my E-Commerce class. In the previous lessons, I have introduced what is 3D printing and what materials are available for 3D printing.
