A video introduction to this unit can be found here
HIS is getting has a new 3D Printer. Your task will be to design and print something that will make a world of difference.
3D Printing is used to prototype different products. Your client is a Grade 8 student who has to create pieces for a board game. You will need to design and print a prototype for your client to evaluate before it is mass produced.
You will use TinkerCad as an introduction, later other more comlex CAD systems such as Sketchup and Fusion 360 will be used.
The machine we currently have in school is the MME D3 3d. The machine specifications and printing settings can be found HERE
