3D Printing Projects provides step-by-step visual instructions for projects with a range of difficulty levels to help budding scientists and makers bring their own creations to life. Young designers will learn how to create a Jaws-inspired phone stand, design a personalized chess set, illustrate the galaxy on a ceiling with a star lantern, and build a model racecar with moving wheels! These and other projects walk families through the 3D design process, from scanning, modeling, and digital sculpting to slicing and printing.
“Providing teachers and librarians with the right 3D printers, materials, and lesson ideas has been a high priority for MatterHackers, so we are thrilled to be a part of DK’s efforts to bring this new technology to a younger generation,” says Mara Hitner, Director of Business Development at MatterHackers. “We continue to be inspired by the creativity and tenacity of our maker educators, and the sharp rise in student engagement when 3D printing and modeling is introduced.”
The grand prize winner of the sweepstakes will receive one Ultimaker 2+ Fully Assembled 3D Printer, one $200 MatterHackers gift card, and one copy of DK’s 3D Printing Projects. Forty-nine runners-up will receive one $200.00 MatterHackers gift card and one copy of DK’s 3D Printing Projects. All entrants will receive a promotional code for 5% off and free shipping on any one purchase on MatterHackers.com.
“Through our partnership with MatterHackers, DK can bring 3D printing technology directly into classrooms and libraries, making the experience of 3D printing tangible and exciting for kids,” Jaimie Cona, Director of Marketing at DK, tells 3DPrint.com. “We’re proud to provide educators with resources supporting STEAM initiatives and the Maker Movement through the 3D Printing Projects sweepstakes, and we can’t wait to see what young makers create with the release of this new book.”
