Details

Ptarium aims to develop an on-demand additive manufacturing capacity to meet the fabrication demands of Batswana. The project seeks to address the need for rapid, cost-effective, and customizable manufacturing solutions in Botswana. By leveraging additive manufacturing technologies, the goal is to create a scalable and efficient system that can produce high-quality parts and products on-demand. This project will enable learners to apply their knowledge of 3D printing, materials science, and manufacturing processes to design and implement a prototype system. The project will also involve researching the specific needs of the Batswana market and ensuring that the solution is tailored to meet those needs effectively.

Deliverables

The project will result in a comprehensive on-demand additive manufacturing system tailored to the needs of Batswana. Deliverables will include:


- A detailed report on the fabrication demands in Botswana.


- A functional prototype of the on-demand manufacturing system.


- Documentation of the design and implementation process.


- A final presentation showcasing the system's capabilities and potential impact.
