The Future of Ergonomics?
what if you could walk into an office building and permanently improve every single person’s work environment using a 3D printer?
You might actually have their attention then. Imagine what it could do for workplace ergonomics. You could print something to improve the tilt on a computer monitor, raise armrest on a chair, or, as Thingiverse citizen BenJackson demonstrates – print up a more comfy footrest. I’d bet that pretty soon people would come up with more ways to use their office 3D printer to crank out some things for home too.
BenJackson’s contribution might be a humble footrest – but I think it really opens the door to showing people just how useful 3D printing can really be.
