What is a simple 3D printing project my students will enjoy?

 

What if 3D printing isn't enough to solve a problem my students are trying to tackle?

 

We answer these questions and more this month with a short 6-minute video tutorial and an explanation of lessons we've learned in our own projects.

 

We also uncover new grant opportunities from the Dominion Foundation (worth up to $5K for higher education institutions and $2,500 for K-12 educators).

 

Check out the details below.

3D Printing Isn’t Enough

Have you ever come across a problem that you couldn't solve with 3D printing?

 

Maybe you need a small part that holds heavy weights over long periods of time. That was the case for Amtek's Alex Baddock during one of his recent projects.
