Description:

For decades, commercial AT has been bland, feature-poor, one-size-fits-all sold at premium prices. 3D printing technology can turn this story on its head. 3D printing enables a world of “mass customization” where each customer’s needs for customization and personalization are a priority. Keyguards can be your gateway to 3D-printed AT. A 3D-printed keyguard can save 60% to 99% the cost of a commercial keyguard. In this session, you will be introduced to: 3D printing technology, examples of 3D printed AT, keyguards and their use, why you might need lots of keyguards, the cost of keyguards – both commercial and 3D-printed, the cost of a 3D printer and how easy they are to use, designing and printing a custom keyguard.
