Kick-start 3D pen

Technology and devices have become a new contributor to the art classroom, especially with it being SAFE for use, accessible and reasonably priced.

I participated in a 3hr workshop late last year to get a feel on how the 3D pen function. This is so I know a little to oversee: What are the safety issues and way to grip the device. And as they say "the rest is up to them" which is entirely true because students created and problem-solve structural issue way way better than I can.

Students attended a different workshop conducted by Simplify3D. During this session, our instructor shared and explained, followed


Second attempt by two students. This was done entirely on their own freehand without a template or guide.


Student J on the other hand picked up the use of device very naturally.
