Thingiverse helps make 3D printing easy for student beginners — from edtechmagazine.com by D. Frank Smith
A new startup guide to 3D printing takes students by the hand in their first foray into the magic of makerspaces.
Excerpt:
3D printing is becoming more common at schools across the world, but there’s still a skills gap in using this new technology.
To help overcome that gap, Thingiverse, an online repository of 3D printing designs hosted by the 3D printer manufacturer MakerBot, recently launched JumpStart — an online resource for newcomers to the 3D design discipline. JumpStart is geared specifically with early learners in mind, says Laura Taalman, MakerBot’s senior product manager for education.
