NATIONAL SCIENCE WEEK
Creativity and innovation were on display at the Makerspace facility in Holsworthy Barracks during National Science Week 2023, with soldiers training in 3D modelling and printing to create scaled replicas of vehicles and terrain.
Warrant Officer Class Two David Eason, a multimedia instructor at the Defence School of Intelligence, uses photography to capture high-resolution imagery of various objects. Then, using a technology called photogrammetry, he is able to make precise 3D models, creating a printable object for any purpose.
“At the school, I instruct on a two-week 3D modelling package. Having access to this Makerspace facility provides a great opportunity to take our students’ skills to the next level by not only creating a 3D model but then also printing it using this new technology,” Warrant Officer Eason said.
