3D Innovation
Lyles Center's 3D Print extends a new innovative learning experience to promote problem-solving skills using imagination, design and creativity through 3D printing. This lesson plan introduces the fundamentals of 3D design and 3D printing with step-by-step instructions and 3D model examples to keep students engaged. Studens work hands-on projects and learn how to use Comupter-Aided Design (CAD) software to create their designs. Upon completion, the students worked together on their final class project to create a class design and bring it to life using 3D printers.
Robo E3 Pro is a professional-grade 3D printer which offers a safe, smart, and simple way to promote STEM learning and prototyping.
Material (Filaments): PLA, short for Polyactic acid, is one of the most used bioplastics in the world. It is the safest and easiest material for printing. PLA is a common material for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing, suitable for a variety of applications.
