An Introduction to 3D Printing and Design3D printing has been around since the 1980s, however, the price point for printers is now low enough for consumers, and therefore schools, to purchase. This technology has the potential to change our lives as we know them, from architecture, to medicine, and even to food! The more opportunities we have to explore 3D design, the better! What do you think about 3D printing?

We will take time to explore Tinkercad, an online CAD program, so that we can become familiar with it. Once we've had a chance to play, we will attempt our first project: to design a fidget spinner. We'll also spend some time checking out Thingiverse to begin getting inspiration for our next project!
