3D printing is an additive manufacturing process whereby objects are built up from plastic filament, liquid resin, layers of powder, or even bio-compatible and edible materials. Desktop 3D printing is today’s printing press, putting rapid prototyping, customizable products, and individualized medical appliances in reach of the general public. Literacy in basic 3D modeling and manufacturing is an essential skill for future STEM success in this country. In this course students will learn how to be “makers” by using various types of 3D modeling software and imaging equipment, printing actual physical objects that they have designed and modeled themselves, and participating in educational outreach in the university and the community via online ePortfolio. The student will use engineering program like; AutoCAD and Pruas Slicer. The class is designed to prepare students for the world of work, advancement to the local community college, or a four-year university. Must receive a C or better to advance to other industrial technology classes.
