This video shows an example use of 3D printing--using a 3D printer to make a plastic mold for a soft robot gripper. The printer feeds a spool of ABS plastic filament into a heated nozzle. This melts the plastic, and it is extruded through a narrow hole at the tip of the nozzle onto a build platform. When it comes in contact with the platform, the plastic quickly cools and solidifies. The nozzle continually extrudes material in new layers to gradually build up a three-dimensional part. The…
Print fun, colorful objects with royal icing, just like a 3D printer would! In this fun and easy science activity, you use a technique similar to fused deposition modeling, the technique used by most common "consumer" 3D printers. You will print 3D objects yourself with royal icing. No 3D printer or plastic needed!
Written instructions are available on the Science Buddies website: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/stem-activities/3d-print-with-icing?ytid=subFttvmGng&ytsrc=description

Make your own fun, colorful shapes with sand and glue! In this fun science activity, you will use a process similar to "binder jetting," a type of 3D printing. However, you don't even need a 3D printer to do it! Just some sand, glue, a cup, and a spoon. Written instructions are available on the Science Buddies website: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/stem-activities/3D-print-with-sand?ytid=OF5UTmlY4cY&ytsrc=description
