assignment assignment assignment assignment
   group assignment:
      - test the design rules for your 3D printer(s)
   individual assignment:
      - design and 3D print an object (small, few cm3, limited by printer time)
         that could not be made subtractively
      - 3D scan an object (and optionally print it)
