Teaching and Learning resources on the BfB Wiki

These projects and worksheets have been provided by Dave White, Head of D&T at Clevedon School, UK.

Dave has been using a RapMan in school with his students for some time now and has put together these project ideas as a way to get started and make progress in the use of the machine for rapid prototyping. The resources have been written to guide students through a series of projects using Pro/ENGINEER although they can be adapted for Pro/DESKTOP or other 3D software.

Notes

Sample .stl files are included for some projects. There is no guarantee that these are printable, if you wish to try then this is at your own risk, you may find that you have to scale, re-orientate, move the object to get it to print satisfactorily.

Projects are currently in pdf format. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the files. Adobe Reader Download Powerpoint format may follow (hopefully).



If you find the projects useful then please leave comments on the Education section of the Bits from Bytes Forum . And don’t forget that this is also a great place to share your experiences and photographs of the work done by your students.
