3D printing

Our informative and hands-on 3D Printing Club gives young people the opportunity to explore 3D printing and develop practical 3D design skills.

Over four weeks, participants will work through a series of self-paced projects using Tinkercad. Each project builds on the skills learned in the previous session, helping participants develop their confidence and design skills over time.

Participants can also choose one of their completed designs to be printed on the library’s 3D printer and take it home.

A special whānau session

For the final session, participants are invited to bring along an older member of their whānau, such as a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or special mentor.

Together, they can explore 3D printing, share what they have learned, and create something memorable as part of the learning journey.

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:

  • Understand and explain how a 3D printer works
  • Complete an introductory 3D design project
  • Create additional projects to further develop their design skills
  • Share their knowledge and learning with a whānau member

Who can join?

3D Printing Club is suitable for young people aged 9–18, regardless of their previous experience with 3D printing or design.

When?

Our next 3D Printing Club sessions start Thursday 3 September.
