Empowering Today’s Learners to Become Tomorrow’s Leaders
3D printing is any of various processes in which material is joined or solidified under computer control to create a three-dimensional object,with material being added together (such as liquid molecules or powder grains being fused together). 3D printing is used in both rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing.
Learning Targets for 3D Printing (Additive Prototyping)
Develop a part using 3D-CAD software.
Be able to open, view, manipulate and edit three dimensional object files.
Prepare and optimize those files for 3D printing.
Perform initial part-build setup on a 3D printer.
Successfully fabricate the file design through a 3D printer using appropriate material and method selections.
