3D printing can seem overwhelming at first. After all, you’re learning a brand-new technology! This module will help you overcome the perplexity of it all, as you learn about 3D printing hardware.

For many people, the most daunting aspect of 3D printing is the software. Fortunately, there are a number of software options available, some of which are easier to learn than you might think. This module will help get you started using 3D Printing software, so you and your students can start designing no time.  You will learn how to print a file using the most widely-used and recommended software, including TinkerCAD and Fusion360. You will also learn how to troubleshoot common printer problems.

This course includes case studies surrounding the positive impact of STEM instruction and using the Dremel 3D printer in schools across the country. You will also find sample lesson plans and student handouts for elementary, middle, and high school classes.

When you purchase a Dremel DigiLab EDU bundle, a Professional Development card is included.  At the bottom of the card, there is a unique code.  You will need this code to download your certificate. 

If you did not purchase an EDU bundle, you can purchase a unique code outright.

Upon completion of this course, you will be prompted to download your certificate of completion. This can be handed to your school administrator for proof of completion for 4 hours of Professional Development credit.
