Summary

The lesson is about designing and printing a general structure of a Volcano in order to understand and identify the different parts of it. It will also help students to understand 3D printing and techniques.

Learning objectives

The students will be able to:

– Design the Volcano with Rhinoceros or Sketchup or Inventor Educational or with other suitable CAD software.

– Identify the different parts of a volcano.

– Prepare CAD files to be printed.

– Learn 3D printing techniques.

– Setting the 3D printing file.

– Print the 3D model of the volcano.

Teacher preparation

Preparation about the guided lesson in the classroom. To consider exercises that could be developed during the classroom lesson in order to make the lesson as interactive as possible.

Teacher explanation

– Introduce the topic and the objective (theoretical explanation of the Volcano).

– Explain the basics of the 3D software to use Rhinoceros or Sketchup or Inventor Educational.
