3D Printing

I don't know who was more excited, the students or me! Miss Emma shared a video about the possibilities of 3D printing - it's pretty much limitless. We are going to have so much fun!

Takes awhile to print in 3D, 24 hours! But it actually works - you can just about see a star shaped cookie cutter being printed.

SPS are working hard on our capacities. Today had the focus on asking questions and using particular words such as 'can.' It was used a lot!


We were shown how to find a website and were giving a quick tutorial on 'Tinkercad' which is the 3D designing software we were using. 


Our introduction to 3D printing was to personalise our own key ring with our name. It was extremely user-friendly and, in theory, it should be easy to design what we want. Can't wait to play around with this more!
