C9: 3D Designing & 3D Printing

Empathy in design means putting yourself in someone else’s shoes.
 Before you make something, you must understand who you’re designing for, what their daily life looks like, and what difficulties they face.

Designers use empathy to:

  • Create products that are easy to use.

  • Build tools that support people with disabilities or limitations.

  • Make daily life more comfortable, efficient, and enjoyable.

Example:
 A student notices their grandmother struggling to open tight bottle caps. Instead of ignoring it, they design a 3D-printed jar opener — simple, useful, and kind.
