3D PrintingWe have 2 3D Printers, that can be used by teachers and students. 3D printing is one of the Digital Sandpit activities for older students.
Below is a document that I have created for teachers and students. The first page gives teachers the 'how to' basics when using the tinkercad website to create a design. The next couple of pages are 'guide sheets' for students. One for their first sessions, and the second one for their second - fourth sessions. The Tinkercad website can be a bit tricky to understand - I suggest having a go at it yourself, before doing it with students. See Chris if you need more help with Tinkercad or 3D printing in genera.

Below are links to 3 different, short videos that can be used to introduce students to what is 3D printing, and the basics of how they can be used. I usually show one or two of these videos at the beginning of our first Digital Sandpit session. Each one goes for less than 2mins.
