3D Printing
Introduction
| 2
3D Printing
๏‚ง 3D Printing is about utilizing a printer that builds a part
or an object from the ground up, one layer at a time.
๏‚ง It adds one layer on top of another, making it an additive
process!
โ€ข Think layers of a cake!
| 3
3D Printing Continuedโ€ฆ
๏‚ง Using computer software, it can print ideas in 3 Dimensions!
๏‚ง Can make very detailed designsโ€ฆ it brings ideas to life!
๏‚ง Here are some fun examples of the many things you can
build!
โ€ข Your own Finding Dory figurine
โ€ข Robot
โ€ข Pineapple Slinky
| 4
3D Printer
๏‚ง To understand 3D Printing and how it
works, first we need to learn about
the 3D Printer!
โ€ข 3D Printers come in all different shapes and
sizes.
โ€ข Each 3D Printer has the same parts that
make it work properly.
โ€ข The next slides will teach us the important
parts of a 3D printer!
| 5
Parts of a 3D Printer!
Display Unit - shows the
functions such as time to print
and fill rate.
Extruder โ€“ heats up the
material so it is soft and
sticky and pushes it out a
nozzle to create the part.
Filament โ€“ is the material that
is used to create the part.
Usually, the part is made from
different kinds of plastic, either
PLA, Carbon Fiber or Nylon
| 6
Parts of a 3D Printer!
Hot End - Tip of the extruder
where hot material comes out.
Print Bed โ€“ base in which
the part is built upon.
Build Volumeโ€“ the three-
dimensional space in which the
part can be created.
Cooling Fan โ€“ Fan near the
extruder that cools the
material as it comes out of
the hot end.
| 7
Video โ€“ How 3D Printers Work!
๏‚ง Video: How 3D Printers Work with Kamri Noel
โ€ข This video from National Geographic Kids is a great introduction to 3D
Printing and how 3D printersโ€™ work.
โ€ข Watch the video to understand the process!
โ€ข Link to Video: How 3D Printers Work with Kamri Noel

Activity
๏‚ง Labelling the Parts of a 3D Printer
โ€ข Let us use what we learned to fill in the
different parts of a 3D Printer, so we are
familiar with how the printer works!
โ€ข Label the parts of the 3D printer given
the parts in the word bank.
| 9
What We Learned
๏‚ง You can take your designs and make anything with a 3D
printer! Now that we know how a 3D printer works and
the parts of the printer, we can see the applications and
different types of printers there are!
