Module 4 Overview模块 4 概述

Overview 概述

The previous three modules have given you an overview of a wide variety of applications of 3D printing. In addition, if you work through the assessments and participate in the discussions, you will see the immense variety of applications shared by your peers. Before you start developing the skills in software and hardware, let's take a look at the process, which will help you convert the problems/needs you see around you into potential ideas, and finally into objects.
前三模块为您概述了 3D 打印的广泛应用。此外，如果您完成评估并参与讨论，您将看到您的同行分享的巨大应用多样性。在您开始开发软件和硬件技能之前，让我们先了解一下这个过程，这将帮助您将周围看到的问题/需求转化为潜在的想法，最终转化为物体。

This process is the design thinking framework, which has several flavors. All variants of the design thinking approach call for iterative prototyping, to which 3D modeling and printing are ideally suited. We will get an overview of one such framework from IDEO and by an expert at the University of Illinois, and then see examples of the approach in action. We will close with meeting the instructor of the next course, Jeff Smith, and get his thoughts on design thinking and software.
这个过程是设计思维框架，它有几个变体。所有设计思维方法的所有变体都要求迭代原型设计，而 3D 建模和打印非常适合这一点。我们将从 IDEO 和伊利诺伊大学的一位专家那里了解这样一个框架的概述，然后看到这种方法在实际中的应用示例。最后，我们将与下一门课程的讲师 Jeff Smith 见面，并听取他对设计思维和软件的看法。
