Outline of Final Research Achievements

It has been available for everyone to make use of 3D printers, Laser cutters and programmable computers etc. for their "Monotsukuri" making things. In this research, I designed and practiced Monotsukuri workshops for non-engineering major university students to get familiar with new Monotsukuri and tools. I also developed and revised a new tool for Monotsukuri called "Programable Battery" to make digital monotuskuri more simple, playful, and meaningful.
