3D Printing for Education

Steve Rodoletz — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 21:18:28 +0000

In 2012 we received a very humbling request to make two 3D printers for local high schools, and this fall we installed them and began training teachers and students alike to operate the printers. In the near future, we hope to help them learn to assemble new printers, and harness the awesome power to not only manufacture and prototype new things, but to build the machines that make those things as well. It is for learning these fundamental skills that we strive to incorporate into our service, and part of the experience we provide with every new printer we bring into the world.

Open-source desktop manufacturing is quickly becoming the next major technological revolution, and like many that have come before, it promises to shed new light on the way we think about creating and inventing, as well as the way we act as consumers. Much to the credit of global movements like Reprap the technology and community of science, open-source hardware is evolving at an extremely rapid pace. Companies that design and build 3D printers often suffer from their own structure as they try and maintain a proprietary model that hinders the true nature of growth and innovation embraced by individuals and institutions alike through Reprap. Not only do we provide a 3D printer, but the service of training and fostering the ethic that makes Reprap a technology based on growth and new ideas.

In 2013, we will be continuing our work of making, inventing, and fostering community culture, and we would like to bring it to your doorstep. We would like to offer to individuals, educators, and educational institutions the ability to make and use their own desktop 3D printer, as well as resources and consultation on forming grassroots community campaigns to provide funding and subsidization. Our current educational package includes a kit or fully assembled and ready to print Reprap 3D printer, training, and hardware upgrade options to keep in line with the rate of progression and innovation that this technology sees.

If you or your organization is interested in sourcing a 3D printer, please contact Dave at info(at) reuseum.com, and make sure and include “3D printers for Education” in the subject line.

Raising Makers

Steve Rodoletz — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:15:07 +0000

Why: Because we have some really interesting things to show you! Topics include 3D printing, making cool projects from recycled materials, making prototyping tools from home or even just good old fashioned inventing, experimenting and tinkering.

In our first ever general meeting, anyone ages 7 and up is welcome to come to our first Raising Makers event. We’ll be showing off some of the great new technologies out there that enable us to make our ideas come to life in our own homes. Not only the tools and hardware that we build, but the software and open-source programs that help us design our inventions, and places that we can go to learn and become inspired to be creative.

Other groups like Raising Makers are springing up all over the world, and is because of our culture of sharing our ideas and resources that we are able to bring such a number of great ideas together in what we do, so we’ll be taking a big look at ideas and projects that are already popular worldwide and talking about how we can help improve and make them better!

When: 10am-12pm, Saturday, July 14th 2012

At: Reuseum Ed. Classroom, 3145 W Chinden Blvd Garden City, ID

If you would like to attend this Free event, please contact us or just show up on Saturday!

UPDATE 7/15/12: Thank you!

Our first Raising Makers meeting was great! A big thank you to everyone who came by, we are excited to do it again next month! Here is a bit of a gallery from the Seej tournament that ensued….

New Powder 3D Printer!

Steve Rodoletz — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 20:37:08 +0000

Due to the generosity of a local prototyping engineer, we have been outfitted with a functional ZCorp 3D Printer. We already are enthusiasts and developers for 3D printing, and the community spirit of open-source movements like Reprap, and we would like to invite the public to come and learn how to use the machine! We’ve wrangle the members of Open Lab Idaho into becoming the technicians who get it running smoothly. We’ll be hosting our first Raising Makers youth program on July 14th, 2012 from 10am to 12pm. We’ll be introducing the attendees to different ways that you can use 3D modeling software to build designs and print them with machines of both hand built commercial quality. Anyone who is of school age, 6-18 may attend.

Community resources like Thingiverse and open-source software programs have made many great opportunities for us to make things in a way befitting the 21st century, and now is the time to raise our next generation of makers! If you have a young person who would like to attend, please contact us and we’ll put you on the list. There is no cost to attend the Raising Makers event.
