Vacation Program

  • Friday, December 27, 2019
  • 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
  • Designed for ages 11 to 14
  • By Ana Tavares

Explore the world of 3D printers, inside and out. Learn how they work, how they're built, and how to program them to make intricately detailed parts.

We'll take a look at the internals of the Museum's very own Prusa i3 printers, design parts in Fusion 360, and fiddle with PrusaSlicer, the software that figures out exactly how the printer needs to move. Then, work in teams to figure out how to make the most of the tool.

Fee: $70
