Welcome to De Anza College and the 3D Printing / CAD Labs news letter.

Some of this weeks subjects and projects that are planed are listed below with a picture of the butterfly clip we demonstrated on our SLA printer.

Great Video of printing the personalized business cards for each student on the Object30 Pro Thursday.

• Each student used SolidWorks to edit and customize their own business card to take home this weekend. More pictures below.

1. Lists of 3D printed Projects we will be working on in class over the next few weeks.
   • Custom Key chain or magnet, business card
   • Penny Trap - 1
   • Reverse engineering puzzle box: Form, Fit & Function
   • Custom Fidget spinner or Japanese Kendama
