Question

Students in a 6th grade science class are completing a project about an invention for which they must print a 3-D prototype on the 3-D printer. After giving them instruction about the 3-D printer software, some of the students are still struggling with how to use the software to create the prototype they envision.
What is the best way to help the students complete the assignment?

Answer 1

Answer:

Providing them with a template and simple instructions for how to design and print their prototype.

Explanation:

3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.

The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object.

3D printing is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing which is cutting out / hollowing out a piece of metal or plastic with for instance a milling machine.

3D printing enables you to produce complex shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods.

By providing them with the information for how to design the 3D printer and how to print heir prototype in a template is best way to help the students.

It will need some prior research about 3D Printer.
