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.

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.

Shape the idea

Students begin with a clear project goal and construct the first version using accessible digital forms.

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.

Navigate beginner-friendly computer-aided design tools
Build a personalized object from simple three-dimensional shapes
Use measurement, scale, balance, and connection points
Inspect and prepare the finished model for 3D printing

Flexible for your campus

The right tools,
already handled.

FULLY EQUIPPEDWe bring the complete setup

Creative Innovations Labs supplies the devices, specialized technology, materials, and lesson resources required for the class.

SCHOOL DEVICESUse existing laptops or tablets

When it fits the workshop, we can design the experience around technology students already use on campus.

HYBRID PLANCombine both approaches

We bring the specialized equipment while students use existing school devices for the digital parts of the experience.
