Class Description
Exploring 3D printing at the extremely small detailed scale and for larger objects as well. Students will learn to take an idea from their imagination to something they can hold in their hands. 3D scanning will also be explored to personalize printed objects with students’ own faces.
Learning Objectives: in this class, students will learn about
- FFF or FDM 3D Printing
- Resin 3D printing
- CAD software
- 3D scanning
- Slicer software
- How to add textures to printed objects
- Produce a variety of 3D Prints in various materials designed and edited by students
Equipment
- FFF aka FDM Printer
- Resin Printer
- Computers
- iPads
Software
- Tinkercad
- EM3D
- 123D Design
- Ideamaker

Deliverables: Students and Class Projects
- A figure with their face on it
- A replica mask of their own face
- A group/class project (perhaps a 3D printed instrument to be used at MAPS by others)
- Students’ own personal project 3D printed
