A UX Designer at the Printer — where product thinking meets 3D printing

Tagsüber designt Jens Schaller digitale Produkte – abends und am Wochenende steht er am 3D-Drucker. In diesem Talk zeigt er, was passiert, wenn man UX-Methoden wie Design Thinking und strukturiertes Prototyping auf Maker-Projekte anwendet: Schluss mit blindem Trial-and-Error, stattdessen ein klarer Prozess vom gescheiterten Druck zur fertigen Lösung. Das Publikum nimmt ein konkretes Framework mit, das sich sofort auf eigene Projekte anwenden lässt.

By day I design digital products, by night and on weekends I'm at the 3D printer. Over time I noticed something hardly anyone talks about: the methods we use to build professional software – design thinking, structured prototyping, "fail fast" – work just as well on maker projects as they do on digital products. In this talk I show how UX thinking translates to everyday printing – no buzzword bingo, just real projects from my own practice: from failed print to finished solution, thought through step by step instead of blind trial-and-error. The audience leaves with a concrete framework they can apply to their own projects right away.

This Talk is held in German.
