3D Printing and MakerBot Tutorials


Utilize the following links to get to know 3D printing with the MakerBot.  You should be able to tell me about the content using the 5w's: who, what, when, where, and why plus H- how. You should be able to access the MakerBot Print Desktop, Navigate to Examples, and select a sample print (15 minutes or less). You should also know how to access Thingiverse.  Last, be able to tell how we can utilize 3D printing in the classroom and/or for class projects/assignments.
