Why should kids learn about 3D Printing?

3D printing for kids is a great way to get them interested in technology and engineering from a young age. 

There are several 3D printers designed specifically for children, and most of them are very easy to use.

 

One of the best things about 3D printing for kids is creating almost anything they can imagine. 

They can design and print toys, tools, ornaments, and more. The possibilities are endless!

 

3D printing for kids is also a great way to teach them about science. 

They can learn about the principles behind 3D printing. They are also taught how to design objects using computer-aided design (CAD) software.

 

If you’re looking for a fun and educational activity for your child, consider getting a 3D printer. They’ll love it! 

 

3D Printing Safely

 

Before going on, safety when using 3D printers should always be top of mind. As a general rule, kids should never be left alone with their printers and thus should only operate them under adult supervision. 

The 3D printer is a tool, just like a hammer or sewing machine, and can cause harm even unintentionally. 

In addition, there are dangers between the moving parts and extreme temperature levels if proper precautions are not taken. 

This is not by any means an exhaustive list of things to be aware of when it comes to safety. 

However, it can be used as a starting off point on how to approach learning the ins and outs of additive manufacturing.
