Maker Faire Bay Area 2025
3D Print & Design
Home: California
3D Print and Design explores how 3D printers work and how they can be used to create innovative solutions for the future. The exhibit highlights the importance of design in shaping the industrial and everyday objects around us, while also showing how both simple and complex math, with software functions, play a role in the design and printing process. This exhibit shares not just the creations, but the knowledge behind them. The showcase will feature colorful posters, hands on activities, and creative, practical designs for everyday use—super fun and inspiring stuff! Visitors can see live 3D printing, explore hands-on activities, print with a 3d pen, ask questions, dive into informational posters, and more. Introductory design tools and resources will be available, along with insights into advanced technologies like industrial CNC and laser cutting. A fun and educational experience for all ages!
Maker
Selim Uyan
My name is Selim Uyan, and I am a young maker who loves technologies and making things that shape the future. I'm inspired by the work of major tech companies—like driverless cars, beautifully designed software, and the sleek hardware in our everyday devices. I believe innovation through design, 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC, design, simulations, and more can solve real-world problems. I work with a variety of tools and materials, combining technologies like laser cutting and 3D printing to create complex, multi-material projects. Understanding how machines work using code, math, and custom settings, things like making my own filaments or 3D printing my own custom projects using real time functions is possible. Having expertise in professional programs like Fusion 360 and many other CAD tools, implementing PCBs into my designs is easier than before. This exhibit shares not just the fun, awesome, creative, and problem-changing creations, but the knowledge behind them. I hope visitors leave inspire
