Introduction Level 3D Printing Tutorial
Class experience
Computer-aided design (CAD) skills will be taught using online software TinkerCAD (free) and Blender (free). Topics covered will be ideation techniques (planning your designs with sketches and research), CAD design techniques, object orientation, 3D model slicing, print support planning, and material settings. Students may repeat this class as many times as they like. Returning students will work on more advanced designs, or get help with projects that they have worked on between...
All the instructors at Be A Maker Club are makers themselves and are experts at CAD design, prototyping, and additive manufacturing. We have worked in person with nearly 4,000 students in the past 2 years in the Southern California area. OUR MISSION Provide access to machines and tools so makers can make whenever they want at the lowest cost possible. FOUNDING STORY Be A Maker Club is a testament to the pester power of a child. Zef’s daughter insisted that she wanted to learn to use a laser engraver but when they could not find a class nearby, Zef bought one and installed it in his garage. When she took the things she made back to school, her friends wanted to make things too. And that is how Be A Maker Club. ACHIEVEMENTS Social Impact Fellowship by the Kravis Lab at Claremont McKenna College 46% of students enrolled are girls in our makerspace classes A textbook chapter on 3D printing in K-12 education to be published by Pearson in collaboration with Nova Southeastern University OUR PHILOSOPHY We believe in providing practical learning pathways for students. Additive manufacturing is creating opportunities the same way computers and the Internet did for the last 2 decades; and we want our students to be prepared for the future. We are constantly tinkering with our 3D printers to make them more accessible to our students. For example - right now we are retrofitting them with cameras so students can view their 3d prints through a web browser.
