Holiday promotions in the Innovation Center: Discover AI and 3D printing!
The innovation center “42 Kaiserslautern” has made a name for itself in the Cologne region by offering an exciting holiday program for children and young people. The events range from artificial intelligence to 3D printing – and the best part? Participation is free, but registration is required at 42 Kaiserslautern necessary. The aim of the program is to bring science, business and society together and to promote a better understanding of the technologies of tomorrow, according to rheinpfalz.de.
The holiday program is a complete success and specifically includes several events:
- „Smarter als KI – Entdecken, Verstehen, Hinterfragen“
Datum: Mittwoch, 16. Juli, 10 bis 15 Uhr. Zielgruppe: Teilnehmer von 11 bis 14 Jahren. Hier dürfen die Kids spielerisch die Mechanismen der Künstlichen Intelligenz entdecken. - „3D-Druck: Grundlagen, Modellierung und Co.“
Datum: Montag, 11. August, 10 bis 15 Uhr. Jugendliche lernen die Basics des 3D-Drucks kennen und dürfen ihr eigenes Modell mit nach Hause nehmen. - „3D-Druck: Grundlagen, Scannen, eigene Designs“
Datum: Dienstag, 12. August, 10 bis 15 Uhr. Für Kinder und Jugendliche ab 12 Jahren. Fokus liegt auf dem Scannen und Anpassen von 3D-Modellen. - „Gamedesign mit Scratch – Programmiert euer Dinospiel mit Ada Lovelace“
Datum: Mittwoch, 13. August, 10 bis 15 Uhr. Nachwuchsspielentwickler können hier ihre ersten Schritte in der Programmierung wagen. - „Was ist Data Science? Informationen aus großen Datenmengen gewinnen!“
Datum: Donnerstag, 14. August, 10 bis 15 Uhr. Jugendliche lernen hier, wie sie Daten analysieren und spannende Fragen beantworten können. - „Kreativtag mit Kamera und Schnitt – Foto und Video mit dem iPad“
Datum: Freitag, 15. August, 10 bis 15 Uhr. Hier steht die kreative Filmproduktion im Fokus.
Linking artificial intelligence and 3D printing
In recent years, terms such as “artificial intelligence” (AI) and “3D printing” have gained enormous importance. Many experts agree that the combination of these two technologies has the potential to revolutionize entire industries. This is how Dr. Thomas Wilde that AI includes processes that help machines imitate human perception, thinking and action. AI is used particularly in 3D printing to create automated workflows that can increase efficiency and develop innovative materials. Examples such as the Fraunhofer Institute show how AI is used to process high-quality materials in aerospace, according to 3dnatives.com.
A particularly exciting development is AI-optimized slicing algorithms, which significantly improve the printing process. They detect critical structures and adjust printing parameters in real time, allowing errors to be corrected immediately. This is considered a great convenience for users as the quality of the printed parts is increased at the same time. In addition, the AI predicts material behavior before the actual printing, which optimizes the entire workflow, as 3daistudio.com describes.
Outlook for the future
The future of combining AI and 3D printing is just beginning. This symbiosis is expected to not only increase efficiency, but also enable new applications in Industry 4.0. From predictive maintenance to automated production planning, the prospects are promising. But while the benefits outweigh the benefits, there are also concerns that the technology could enable potentially dangerous applications. It is therefore important to keep a close eye on developments.
The holiday program at “42 Kaiserslautern” offers young people the chance to actively engage with these technologies and perhaps even realize their own creative project. Registrations have already opened - so take a quick look and secure your place!
