Have you ever wanted something but couldn’t get it or buy it? Why not make it? 3D Printing enables people to make anything. From educational tools to houses to organs, just about anything is possible with 3D Printing. 3D Printing is a technology that has been around for several years but is a technology that […]
3D Printing
3D Printing is the process of creating an object using a machine that putting down material layer by layer until the desired object is formed. Such printers use specifications generated by computer modeling applications or by3D scans of existing objects. This process of creating 3D models is much faster than many traditional methods of creating prototypes or replicas of existing […]

This OER will discuss the technology including […]
3D Printing – Activity 3
Would you Invest? After completing all the sections of this website it is time to put on your superintendent/business hat and answer one final question. Using what you now know about 3D printers, would you invest your school district’s money in the purchasing of machines for schools. Why? or Why not? If you need to […]
Tinkerine: 3D printing in education
I chose to create my analysis on a Vancouver based 3D printing company called Tinkerine. 3D printing has become a term often heard in my role as shop teacher. Like the “maker space”, 3D printing is seen as the next thing in terms of project based learning, and hands on educational experiences. I have explored […]
Week 11: 3D Printing Review
Thank you 3Ders for an absolutely fantastic OER! It’s engaging right from the beginning! The videos give it an interactive documentary feel to it. The OER has a very clear layout and easy flow of the content. The topics are sequenced very logically from general to specific educational sectors and industries. In addition, it discusses […]
Week 11-3D printing
Hi week 11 -3D group. Though I read and heard about 3D printing but this OER gave me an insight on how 3D printing can successfully used in teaching and learning. I can undoubtedly see enormous benefits of using 3D in teaching and learning. Many curriculum areas require students to think, to problem solve and […]
One more 3D printing resource – Amazon
Just released – it looks like Amazon has just gotten into the 3D printing business. The have several categories of 3D items (ie jewelry, home & kitchen, electronics, toys & games) where one can customize their size, colour, material and in some cases their design. Here are a couple (of the many) news releases: http://mashable.com/2014/07/28/amazon-3d-printing-store-2/ http://techcrunch.com/2014/07/28/amazon-launches-a-3d-printing-store-with-customizable-goods/
Week 11 Review
Hi Week 11, Thank you for an interesting view of 3D printing. I enjoyed creating my own 3D object and experimenting with various types of software. My husband is an engineering designer and uses 3D software all the time in his work, so it was interesting for me to get a taste of what he […]
3D Printing resources or websites that are interesting
Hi Everyone, Group 11 you inspired me to look into more detail into the pervasiveness of 3D printing. Found some interesting technology related to 3D printing, more sites that you may like to explore in greater detail in relation to this technology. 1. MakerBot – do it yourself 3D printers that are slowly become more publicly […]
Week 11 Review
Thanks very much to the Week 11 Team. We have a 3D printer at the school I work at but never really considered many of the issues that were raised and I definitely need to do some more thinking around this. I also enjoyed the examples that were provided around uses of 3D printing as […]
Week 11 Review
Thanks for the great week group 11 I really enjoyed trying out the software that is associated with 3D printing. I also liked the discussion activity: it was great to be involved in a discussion about the practical uses of 3D printers in public education. For me, the discussion activity was the most valuable part […]
Week 11 Review
Hello Week 11 Team, Thank You so much for introducing us to a delightful new technology. I remember the first time I saw a 3D printing video 3 years back, I wondered how would this be relevant to the common man and how could such a costly technology be afforded. And yet, there it is, […]
Week 11 – 3D Printing Review
Hi Group 11: I had a chance to go through your activities, and found it really interesting. In fact, while I was creating my third assignment, I found an interesting application of 3D printing in my topic. I’m not going to reveal my topic as its a surprise, but did find the use of 3D […]
