2D files:All of the .dtd files below have been produced using 2D Design V2, these are available to download for laser and vinyl cutting. If you would like to produce your own files to be vinyl cut, try the 'vectorising' download, this has by far been the most useful tool I have used on the program!

3D printing and 3D Printers are becoming more and more common in schools as companies look to produce more affordable options in order to promote this process as a more common practise in the school curriculum. Here are some links to tried and tested 3D printers, files and projects and an INSET PowerPoint to get started...
This affordable 3D Printer for schools from MegaUk: At Mega we have been aware that our customers would be interested in the exciting new technology of 3D printing. We have been searching for a machine with high build quality, that is truly plug-n-play, offers a useful big size capacity, is safe to use and is affordable. When we were offered the da Vinci 1.0A from XYZ Printing to resell we immediately saw the machine 'ticked all the boxes' so we began a thorough testing program. The machine continues to impress and at just £395* we felt this was an ideal opportunity to offer it to our customers

Beeverycreative: We want to imprint change through 3D printing. We believe that 3D printing will change the paradigm of mass-production, bringing it closer to the individual consumer, in such a way as to take us into a more leisure-oriented society. We consider personal creative expression to be a way to the future, unlike any economic theory that, during the last few years, has left us with no space for breathing creativity and inspiring innovation in other types and forms.

3D Printing projects:
Jamble Miniature Village - The aim of this project is to teach pupils about CAD/CAM and presentation. Pupils can be trained through CAD in any 3D design program to design and model a house within a given plot of land. Using 2D Design V2, pupils can design a floor plan, export as a .dxf and import into a 3D design program to extrude. Pupils can also be taught how to apply material renders to their property and export various views of the property for their brochure. 3D designs can be exported as a .stl file ready for 3D printing. An area of the house can be designed using research on fixtures and fittings from the internet or magazines as a mini interior design project.
