3D design + digital fabrication
3D Lab
Students transform an original idea into a print-ready digital model while learning the design process behind 3D-printed objects.
FORMATOne-hour classroom workshop
CLASS SIZEStandard: up to 30 students; larger classes available
RECOMMENDEDGrades K–8
EQUIPMENTCIL-provided, school devices, or hybrid
Inside the workshop
One class.
One complete experience.
3D Lab introduces computer-aided design through a focused project students can personalize. Students combine shapes, work with size and proportion, solve design constraints, and discover how a digital model becomes a physical object.
STUDENT RESULTAn original digital model prepared for the 3D-printing process and a repeatable approach to designing with shapes and constraints.
Design with purpose
They refine dimensions, placement, balance, and details while considering how the object should function.
Prepare to print
Students inspect their model, make final corrections, and learn how a digital file becomes a printed creation.
Students will
Active from the
first minute.
Flexible for your campus
The right tools,
already handled.
Creative Innovations Labs supplies the devices, specialized technology, materials, and lesson resources required for the class.
When it fits the workshop, we can design the experience around technology students already use on campus.
We bring the specialized equipment while students use existing school devices for the digital parts of the experience.
