The Shape of the World is Designed in 3 D!
Engineers, Inventors, Entrepreneurs are using 3 D Printing to solve problems.
In this STEM Project Lesson/Activity you will explore what kind of Technology is needed to 3 D Print.
How is Math connected to designing with a 3 D Printer?
Why is the Design & Engineering process an important part of 3 D Printing?
Where are they using 3 D printing in the Sciences & other Industries?
FIRST
Watch the 2 
s
Look out for Key words such as: Mirroring, reflection, transformation, orientation, polyhedron, polygon, dimension, principle, model, ceramic, traditional, custom, assemble, scale, etc
Second
Use the Student Template Journal to show what you know.
Every STEM discipline uses a
(Design, Engineering, Journal-(whatever the name) Book to Document their ideas, research, progress, etc
Designing & Researching with a 3 D Printer is NO Different.
Use any or all of the 
Tools that you would like= 
etc
This is for you, and what is best for your learning.
Remember also to use 
for In Process
And 
Completed
Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
This Project can be done as just an understanding of how 3 D printing works, or as an introductory lesson on 3 D printing itself. If you do not have a 3 D Printer= have the student screenshot their CAD Design and uploaded as a response. If you have a 3 D Printer have them upload their design to the Slicer software to 3 D Priint. Another way to duplicate the process of slicer/3 D printer is a 3 D Doodler Pen, or Use a Glue Gun. (Just for Demo purposes.)
