Read together
Come gather 'round, my little friends,
Let me tell you a tale that never ends.
Of models, rafts, and printers too,
And the magic they can do.
A printer whirs and hums along,
As it creates a model strong.
Using monomers, mesh, and more,
A world of wonders we explore.
But what's this? An overhang we see,
How can it print so perfectly?
A motor roars, the raft it grips,
Ensuring our model never slips.
So let us marvel at this machine,
And all the things it can convene.
For with a printer and some glue,
We can make dreams come true.
Talk about it
Reflection
- What is 3D printing and how does it work?
- What are some of the materials that are used in 3D printing, and what do they do?
- How does a 3D printer create a model that has an overhang, and what is a raft used for?
- Why is a motor important in 3D printing?
- What are some of the things that you could create using a 3D printer?
