KHS CAD Classroom Receives New Equipment
The Kingsford High School Computer Aided Design (CAD) classroom recently received new equipment that will allow students to print their design in 2 or 3 dimensions. The HP plotter, will be used to print drawings such as architectural floor plans or details of mechanical parts in 2D. The Dremel 3D Printer, is for printing 3 dimensional models of their design. The equipment was purchased with CTE funds from the DIISD Technical Education. 2D printing has been around for many years. However, 3D printing, also known as additive technology, is a fairly new technology. The printer that was chosen allows printing from the cloud-based software program so that sending objects to the printer can be done from anywhere on the Internet. The Polar 3D Cloud allows the instructor to review print jobs before they are printed.
The two printers will be accessible to the 50+ students who are enrolled in the KHS Mechanical Design and Engineering & Architectural Graphics classes. Having this state-of-the-art equipment available to students may encourage more students to enroll in the pre-engineering classes. The type of skills that are learned in these classes will prove to be valuable when pursuing advanced education in engineering or for obtaining technical jobs right out of high school. For more information, contact the KHS Guidance Office or the DIISD Tech Center.
