Middle School: CAD and 3D Printing

SCI-90075



In this course, students will go from an introduction to 3D design to acquiring the knowledge necessary to create manufacturing-ready projects. They will learn how 3D printers work and how 3D printing transforms ideas into tangible objects. Through hands-on experience with CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, students will design their own projects and gain the skills to bring their creations to life using 3D printing technology.

 

What you'll learn
