NICC Cresco Center PLTW Lab Space • One of the four whiteboard tables with buoys
NICC Cresco Center PLTW Lab Space • Here are our 3D printers • The two white 3D printers are called ROBO 3D R1. These two printers are similar to other 3D printers that print with ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and PLA (Polylactic Acid or Polylactide) filaments that are melted and laid/printed in successive layers of material, under computer control. • The orange colored 3D printer is called the Form 1+. It uses SLA (Stereolithography Apparatus) technology, and prints with a laser that hardens the liquid photopolymer resin. (So we get a solid from the liquid)
NICC Cresco Center PLTW Lab Space • Our smart board Aquos TV • The instructor can choose different options of sharing hteir screen with the class
NICC Cresco Center PLTW Lab Space • A Bench Mill 6000
