Description
3D printers have huge potential as an educative tool in the innovative classroom. They encourage interdisciplinary and design thinking while enabling rapid prototyping to solve a range of real world problems. However, they are not a 'plug and play' solution, which often sees this technology underutilised.
In this workshop, we will explore:
Core concepts of 3D printing
Considerations for 3D design
3D design software
Technical problem solving
3D printing tools and resources
Using 3D printers in the classroom
Please bring your own device to this session. If you have, or will have, access to 3D printers in your context, it would be beneficial to ensure that your device has the relevant software installed. If you are interested in bringing a 3D printer along to this session, please contact Simon.
