From Carpet Cleaning to 3D Printing (HS)

In this project, student will learn the working principles of 3D printing technologies. The students will
study the process steps for building an object with 3D printing technology that we have available in the 3d
printing laboratory. With this basic knowledge about the 3D printing, they will perform a vacuum cleaning
activity. Students will study their vacuum motion and identify the characteristics. Then they will use that
knowledge in the 3d printing domain. At the end, they will measure the performance of the 3d printer and
check if their carpet cleaning knowledge can help the 3D printing technology.
