The next big innovation. Here.
With great knowledge comes great responsibility. This definitely applies to the current topic. Not many people know about this topic and it is my initiative to help people learn about this topic better. Let's get this product unveiling off the road, shall we?
By using this intuitive piece of hardware, people have a different way to interact and learn about Photopolymers. Because of the aspect that the use can produce something that they like, there aspect of fun and entertaining also comes into place. It basically senses the chemical composition of the ink/material which is placed in the container and wirelessly converts it into a 3D image which is compatible with the iPad/Computer software. From the app, the person is then prompted through a detailed tutorial process and is also taught the basics and complicated things about Photopolymers. The user then has to guess what each component in the chemical sequence is, and, depending on the answer, the 3D printer (provided) prints out a replica of the chemical composition of the ink. The interesting this is that the user can customise the look and feel of the image within the app on the iPad/Computer. This would definitely help someone learn about this topic and retain the information for a long time.
The hardware unit would cost approximately between $700-900, depending on the parts and manufacturing costs. This is a really cheap price because if you compare this to other devices like the iPhone, it is approximately $100 cheaper than the standard iPhone 6 16GB variant. Therefore, the price of this is significantly affordable by school, such as BSHS. This device will start to ship mainly in Australia and New Zealand, but the device will definitely go on sale in the US region and Canada, where the main market is.
This device and solution has been chosen because of the positive ways that it effects people struggling to learn about Photopolymers. There is no doubt that future generations or versions of ‘The Polymerist’ will allow users to do much more than the current version. When an object is placed on the mat, the device sends a command to the iPad/Computer to create a special ink with the Photopolymer technology that will be custom built by the device and then outputted. The user can then use the ink (which has all the characteristics as the object, like the colour and texture to create a new object by inserting the ink into the 3D pen (provided). This is obviously costly, but when it comes to creating an intuitive way for people to learn, this is one of the most innovative ways to do it. This design is compatible with learners who are tactile and visual learners because of the process involved in making a 3D object, the visual cues and the information on the iPad. Auditory learners will hear aids and information from the iPad in addition with the tactile and visual benefits of the device. It also has dual user support (2 people at once) so that learning efficiency between students, learners and others can be enhanced. The device connects with your iPad via a Bluetooth signal which sends and receives information from/to ‘The Polymerist’. Therefore, this design will definitely help people learn about Photopolymers.
