3D Printing and Design

3D printing is being used across the curriculum to support learning. Typically, students are not allowed to interact with fragile objects like fossils and artifacts. 3D printing allows students to touch, hold and even take home models. Students can design and print objects from their discussions and reading, as well as use 3D design to support research. We will look at beginning design using Tinkercad, a free online design program, and Blender, which adds elements of visual effects and motion graphics.
