FILAMENTS

25.
PLA FILAMENT
o Polylactic acid is a thermoplastic
polyester
o Made from renewable resources and
biodegradable (http://goo.gl/6Tln1H)
o Safe for Food Contact
o Roughly: 20 / lb (hard), $30 / lb (soft)

26.
ABS FILAMENT
o Impact resistant and tough
o Hard & Glossy
o Petroleum-based
o Flammable
o Prone to cracking if cooled too
quickly
o Usually bends before it breaks
o Has a strong, toxic smell
o Strength is relatively equal to
PLA
o Roughly $20/lb

WHY SHOULD YOU
HAVE A
MAKERSPACE?

57.
From New Horizons Report:
“One of the most significant aspects of 3D printing for teaching and learning is that it enables more
authentic exploration of objects that may not be readily available to schools.
While it has become easier for teachers and students to work with these models, some of the most
compelling applications of 3D printing in K-12 come from schools and programs that involve students
creating something that is all their own.”
New Horizons Report for K-12: http://www.nmc.org/pdf/2013-horizon-report-k12.pdf - pg 28; image from http://goo.gl/nClQ55

PLAY = LEARNING
Image from: http://goo.gl/v1uWM5
• “learn how to use tools and processes to help them reach their own goals and realize their own ideas”
• “shared spirit, ethics, discipline, mutual respect, reciprocity, self-directed learning”
-makerspace.com PlayBook

60.
PARTICIPATORY LEARNING
oHeightened motivation and new forms of engagement through meaningful play and experimentation;
oLearning that feels relevant to students’ identities and interests;
oOpportunities for creating using a variety media, tools and practices;
oCo-configured expertise where educators & students pool their skills and knowledge and share in the tasks of teaching &
learning;
oAn integrated system of learning where connections between home, school, community and world are enabled and
encouraged

Article: http://goo.gl/m3Xmfq
Forbes: http://goo.gl/YcPXtF
Anything that can exist in
liquid or powder form – in
other words, ingredients that
can then be extruded through
a nozzle or syringe – can be
printed. This includes sugar,
cheese, sauces, and others.
A meal comprising of pizza,
an eggplant dish, corn pasta,
and panna cotta was recently
3D printed for The New York
Times. - Forbes

“This is the kind of potential that I think a lot of people don't understand about 3D printing. By decentralizing the
manufacturing process it allows the creation of products anywhere. That's a huge paradigm shift that, once it's
better established and more efficient, is going to shake the foundations of industry at many levels.” –
