3D Printers

[Homeland]

Are there any schools out there using 3D printers for the children at Primary level and if so how do you incorporate them into a lesson ???

What model printer do you use, any pitfalls you may have experienced etc.

 

Also if any are in the Lincolnshire area I would love to pop and pay a visit.

Im looking to get them in the school in a couple of years.

 

I have seen recently a bit of kit that could create a 3d hologram using a pyramid of glass reflecting a led screen above.

The idea is that you can view the product in 3d before actually printing which seemed nice to me.

 

 

Cant give you the name though sorry as I didn't note it down.

I am currently looking in to this to hopefully purchase in the summer. I have been looking at the da vinci 2.0 seems to get good reviews and seem cheap! but I am still trying to find out if any other schools are using this
