Intro to 3D printing
Learning a new skill can be challenging and the learning curve can be steep. This project can help. In a 90-minute lesson, students transform from beginners, with no prior knowledge of 3D printing, to capable 3D modelers. As a reminder of their new 3D printing abilities, they will receive their own personalized bag tag. Students are introduced to the history and evolution of 3D printing including an overview of the two most commonly used families of 3D printers. After a quick pop quiz, students are challenged to follow a walkthrough and model their own bag tag before personalizing it with their names.
