3D Printing is not a new technology, but it is only recently affordable for schools to purchase and maintain machines. Our high school has three printers, which were generously donated by a parent. The printers are used in the 3D printing class, but other classes have printed projects as well. | |
Our students use Sektchup and Tinkercad programs to design their 3D objects for printing. These are both free design programs anyone can use. Here is the link to tutorials for Tinkercad. Speak with Nelson Taylor for more information about using 3D printing in your class.
