C10: Introduction: 3D Designing, Sculpting & 3D Printing

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

  1. Identify key file formats used in 3D printing.
    Answer: The most common format is .STL (Stereolithography).

  2. Explain what a slicer software does.
    Answer: A slicer converts 3D models into layer-by-layer instructions for printers.

  3. Set up print parameters like layer height, infill, and supports.
    Answer: Students will adjust slicer settings for accuracy, strength, and quality.

  4. Understand how 3D printers construct physical objects.
