Western Washington University
How is 3D printing transforming manufacturing and sustainability? Anim8 Collective Founder, Sarah O’Sell, spoke with the Western Washington University Industrial Design program to share how systems thinking can guide product success.
During this presentation, she dives into real-world case studies, like the rise and fall of the Juicero device, to showcase the importance of creating practical solutions that meet consumer needs. Students learned about the principles of the circular economy, from reducing resource inputs to maximizing material use, and how systems thinking can help tackle complex global challenges.
