3d Printing and Design

3D design teaches students how to build 3D objects using a variety of software. 3D printing is the act of taking a 3D object and printing it via an additive process. If you're interested in incorporating 3D technology into your classroom, Instructional Technology staff can talk through your learning outcomes, student expectations, and assignments using 3D design and/or printing.
