3D Printers• 3D Printers allow rapid testing of ideas in minutes and hours instead of

days or months. Teachers and students are capable of learning andteaching key engineering and science based topics easily by printing-outlearning aids. Now, instead of simply talking about how the foot isconnected to the leg, teachers can physically show it and have it fullyfunctional model. Students can print out and test their designs to see whatchanges they need to make to improve their design. This increases thelearning aspect by trial and error, and gets the students actively thinkingabout what they’ve learned in the classroom. 3D Printers createprofessional-quality, high-resolution prototypes and complex models, andcreate realistic prototypes and models for demonstrations andpresentations.

• The 3D Printer Module uses Autodesk Inventor Pro software (freedownload) which is pre-loaded on laptops that accompany the module.

• Each school will receive the MakerBot 3D Printer during the regularrotation; the Mojo and Afinia 3D printers are available upon request.

• Crime Scene Investigating includes crime scene and suspect samples using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to simulate DNA profiling as commonly used in forensic laboratories.

• DNA Fingerprinting uses real DNA as evidence and your students play the role of crime scene investigator to figure out answers for themselves, in a real-life “who done it” scenario.

• Using the pGlo Bacterial Transformation kit, students are introduced to transformation, cloning, protein chromatography, and electrophoresis. In the activity students transform bacteria by introducing a gene from the bioluminescent jellyfish.

Dye-Sublimation

• The Dye-Sublimation Printer is a computer printer which employs a printing process that uses heat to transfer dye onto materials such as a plastic, card, paper, or fabric. The module comes with a t-shirt, cap, plate, and mug press to create personalized creations that can be worn by the students. Marketing and business education skills can be incorporated into this module if schools want to create items for resale (school logo items, for example).

• Individual schools are responsible for purchasing specific materials, paper and ink as needed.

Embroidery (ComD) Machines

• The Embroidery modules consist of a computerized sewing machine for students to complete graphic designs. New in 2015 is the Bernina E16, Multi Thread Embroidery Machine!

• Students can use designs provided, or bring in their own designs and make projects such as embroidered shirts, towels, caps, etc.

• Marketing and business education skills can be incorporated into this module if you want to create items for resale (school logo items, for example).

• Individual schools are responsible for purchasing specific thread colors and materials as needed.

Color Graphic ProductionSP-300i VersaCAMM; PC50 ColorCAMM1;

GX-24 Desktop Vinyl Cutter

• The VersaCAMM® creates colorful decals, labels, banners, posters, vehicle and floor graphics, apparel decoration and just about any sign imaginable. Its 30” media base uses 4-color printing and contour cutting.

• The GX-24 Desktop vinyl Cutter will cut vinyl, paint mask, reflective vinyls, twill, heat transfer, and sandblast material. CutStudio software allows users to enlarge, reduce, re-position, rotate and mirror images.

• The PC50 ColorCAMM uses direct color printing (cassette ink tapes) onto standard signage vinyl and cuts vinyl.

• These modules come with laptops and software installed on them. Corel Draw is the design software that is used with them.

• A T-shirt press for making designs on T-shirts is available for these modules.
