Digital DIY tools that "make an entrepreneur of every maker"

WARNING: this page is part of a full, STATIC copy of the official website of the DiDIY Project, that ended in June 2017. Please read the note attached to the File Index to know more.


One of the main limitations of 3D printing is its "slowness". Often, though, this is an issue only when one actually needs to manufacture many identical copies of the same object. Still, it is an issue.

(to know and discuss the conclusions of our H2020 research, please participate to the DiDIY Final Conference "Digital Makers – Making a Difference?")


(this topic will also be the topic of one of the workshops of our final conference in Milan, June 22nd 2017!)

To help understanding the multifaceted concept of DiDIY it is important to introduce its operational definition (D3.1, par 2.4):
Integrative modelling is a term coined to describe a particular way of simulation modelling, where researchers take data from a wide variety of sources (e.g. interviews with experts, literature reviews, excerpts from statistical databases, or surveys of the public) in order to develop a detailed simulation model. Such a model could be said to "integrate" the available data.


DiDIY is also about changing work practices, and the DiDIYer is a persona with an innovative mindset.
IDEActivity Center of the Design dept. at Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI) opens the call for the participation at the second series of ‘Digital DIY inspiring future’ workshop - as part of the Digital Do It Yourself project activities.
