A quick example of using the 3D Printer in George Greens!
The 3D printer works by processing a reel of PLA filament which is a thermoplastic that is mouldable when heated. The filament is heated until melting point and then piped through a nozzle in layers, slowly building up the 3D model.
Well Done to the new ‘Stars’ for the winter term. These students have shown great dedication and excellent behaviour in lessons.
