The guys from the State Budgetary Institution "Social Rehabilitation Center for Juveniles "Vera" soldered their bracelets!

It turned out to be not so easy, but the kids did an excellent job under the supervision of our coaches. Soldering is interesting not only for boys, girls also enjoy it with great pleasure they take a soldering iron and a soldering dryer in their hands! The bracelets turned out to be multi-colored and very strong - they passed the strength test for all 100!0003

Once you tell a child that he is doing something well, a smile immediately appears on his face and a desire to learn more! Do you agree?

We were convinced of this in the "Orthodox Gymnasium in the name of Saints Equal-to-the-Apostles Cyril and Methodius"!

- When the children were shown a 3D frame, they began to examine and touch it with interest, and the flower tickled their hands. There was a sea of ​​surprise and delight! nine0015 - Robofootball players won their hearts! The guys played with pleasure and asked questions about the design of robots, laughed and had fun.
- The guys were especially interested in the Hackathon competition, about which we told them and showed the video!

We spent the first day at the Nizhegorodskaya Family Festival with our talisman – the robot Snake!

She did not leave any guest indifferent! Not only children, but also their parents enjoyed getting acquainted with her. nine0003

Someone enthusiastically played with the Sumo wrestlers, someone looked at the 3D frame in surprise, but the new Termenbox robot aroused a lot of enthusiasm and interest! Everyone tried to play their favorite tune on it!

As always, we invited the guys to our Club for free classes and are already waiting for them to visit! Come and you!

And on the second day, our "silver" dancers and talked about their emotions!

Our activists cannot sit still, don't feed them bread, let them take part in the event, but it's better to hold it yourself! nine0003

So at the Festival they played Emotional Intelligence with the guys. As always, they got creative and decided not to sit at the table, but to go on stage! It turned out very fun and unusual!

And before the start of the master class itself, our activists decided not to waste time in vain and dance!

Published August 8, 2022

In total, 100 children from Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod region gathered at the master class! nine0003

For the kids, we presented our robots — the Snake, Sumo wrestlers and a 3D frame.

The guys listened with great enthusiasm to our teacher Ilya. He told them about programming, robots, programming languages ​​and more. He showed the parts that make up the robots and demonstrated how they work.

At the event, we presented not only the direction of robotics, but also journalism and 3D modeling. There were guys who were interested not only in robots, but also in how to properly interview and record a report! nine0003

We secretly told the guys about the trip that will take place at the end of August under the Club Interest project. We'll tell you soon! Several guys are very interested and will go with us!

And the quiz we held at the Youth Day celebration was a great success! Despite the fact that there were guys at the master class who understand programming, some facts turned out to be a discovery for them.

At the end of the master class, the guys bombarded Ilya with questions. The most common were "What language is the 3D frame programmed in" and "What is the best programming language to use to write a computer game?" nine0003

We really liked this trip, it was very interesting and eventful. And all this thanks to children, their interest in knowledge and activity!

We invited the guys to us for a trial lesson and now we are looking forward to it! Come and you!

We thank our friends and partners Children's recreation camp "Mayak", we will definitely come again!

Hello, Dear guys and colleagues! Glad to see you all at our master class.

The theme of our master class: Fundamentals of 3D modeling. Printing 3D models on a 3D printer

Purpose of the master class: formation and development of intellectual and practical competencies in the field creation of spatial models.

In the course of our creative activity, you will consolidate and master the basics of modeling using online Tinkercad program and make a "Keychain" model. nine0003

2. Theoretical demo part

To continue our wizard class guys will introduce you what is 3d modeling and 3d printing in general terms and we will smoothly move on to our practical parts

3D printing technology.

3D or 3D printing is a layer-by-layer creation of a physical object based on virtual 3D model. Printing comes from several hundred and even thousands of layers on a special device - a 3D printer. 3D printer is called three-dimensional data output device, it is from a conventional printer that outputs two-dimensional information on a sheet, in that it allows you to display three-dimensional information (immediately in three dimensions) according to the principle of layer-by-layer growth The physical model is usually bottom-up. In turn, 3D printing is called the process of creating physical objects from 3D digital models created by 3D modeling in any CAD or CAD program. nine0003

3D technology printing originated in the middle of the twentieth century, at the same time the first 3D printers that looked more like manufacturing machines than printing devices. The price of such devices ranged from several tens to several hundred thousand dollars. With the development of 3D printing technology printers became smaller and cheaper. The first devices appeared available not only for industrial enterprises and large commercial organizations, but also for small businesses and households. materials for 3D printing can be very different from the so-called ABC plastic to chocolate. nine0003

Fig. 1.1. - Modern compact 3D printer

Modern 3D printing devices have learned to create not only household items and clothing, but also own parts, food, human tissues and organs.

3D printing has its own history since 1948, when the American Charles Hull developed the technology layer-by-layer growth of physical three-dimensional objects from photopolymerizable compositions (FPK).

Patent for own the author received the invention only at 1986, the same year he founded the company 3D System and started developing the first industrial device for 3D press, which was presented to the public a year later, in 1987. So since the term "3D printer" has not yet been introduced into circulation, the apparatus of Charles Hull received the name "installation for stereolithography".

3D features print. Methods for obtaining three-dimensional models.

3D printing capabilities are limitless. With the help of a 3D printer, you can create a variety of things: from shoes to jewelry, from plastic phone cases to implants spine, which are made of medical grade titanium. nine0003

2008 - Objet Geometries announced the creation of a revolutionary rapid prototyping system Connex500™. It was the first system in the world to allow the production of 3D parts. using different materials at the same time.

November 2010 - Urbee the first prototype of a printed car was presented. This is the first a car whose body was printed by a giant 3D printer. All external components - including glass panel prototypes - were created using Dimension 3D Printers and 3D Systems Fortus. nine0003

In 2011, the company Lockheed demonstrated at the British air show in Farnborough a large an unmanned aircraft, most of which was made using the 3D print. The Polecat aircraft is a flying prototype designed to show performance of new 3D printing technology. To the merits of such parts manufacturing is not only speed, but also relatively low the cost of such parts, and this is the main goal.

3D models. 3D scanner.

As mentioned Previously, three-dimensional (3D) printing consisted of printing three-dimensional three-dimensional models hundreds or even thousands of layers.

Three-dimensional model, which will need to be printed can be obtained in three ways:

download the finished model, for example, from the Internet;

draw from scratch full 3D model;

scan existing object. nine0003

3D models from ABS plastics are durable, but do not tolerate direct sunlight. Via only opaque models can be obtained from such plastic.

Acrylic. Acrylic used in 3D printing to create transparent models. Using acrylic, the following features must be taken into account: for this material you need higher melting point than ABS and cools very quickly and hardens. In heated acrylic, a lot of small air bubbles appear. bubbles that can cause visual distortion of the finished product. nine0003

Concrete. B At present, trial samples of 3D printers for printing with concrete have been made. These are huge printing devices that painstakingly, layer by layer, “print” concrete construction details and structures. This 3D printer can in just 20 hours to "print" a residential two-story house with a total area of ​​230 m2.

For 3D printing an improved grade of concrete is used, the formula of which is 95% the same with the formula of ordinary concrete.

Hydrogel . Scientists from the University of Illinois (USA) printed using a 3D printer and hydrogel biorobots 5-10 mm long. Cells were placed on the surface of biorobots heart tissue that spread through the hydrogel and began to contract, driving the robot. Such hydrogel robots are able to move with speed of 236 micrometers per second. In the future, they will be launched into the body human to detect and neutralize tumors and toxins, as well as to transportation of medicines to the destination. nine0003

Paper. B Some 3D printers use plain paper as the print material. A4 paper. Since paper is an affordable and inexpensive material, paper models are inexpensive and accessible to users. Such models are printed in layers, with each subsequent layer of paper cut out printer and pasted on the previous one. Paper models print quickly, but cannot boast of strength or aesthetics. They are ideal for rapid prototyping of a computer project. nine0003

Plaster. B gypsum materials are widely used in modern 3D printing. models, made of gypsum, short-lived, but have a very low cost. Such models are ideal for the manufacture of objects intended for presentations. They can be shown as a sample to customers and customers, they perfectly convey the shape, structure and size of the original product. Because plaster models are characterized by high heat resistance, they are used as casting samples. nine0003

Wood fibre. Inventor Kai Parthi has developed a special wood fiber for 3D printing. Fiber consists of wood and polymer and is similar in properties to polyactide (PLA). The combined material allows to obtain durable and solid models, which outwardly look like wooden products and have the smell of freshly sawn tree.

Ice. B 2006 two Canadian professors received a grant for the development of 3D technology ice figure prints. In three years, they learned how to create using 3D printers small ice objects. Printing proceeds at a temperature of -22 ° C, as consumables are water and methyl ether, heated to temperature 20oC. nine0003

Metal powder. No plastic can replace metal with its pleasant soft gloss and high durability. Therefore, in 3D printing it is very often powder from light and precious metals is used: copper, aluminum, their alloys, as well as gold and silver. However, metal models do not have sufficient chemical resistance and have high thermal conductivity, therefore, in metal printing powder add fiberglass and ceramic additives. nine0003

Jewelry from metal powder printed by a 3D printer.

Nylon Nylon printing has a lot in common with ABS printing. Exceptions are higher printing temperature (about 320oC), high ability absorb water, longer curing time, need to pump out air from the extruder due to the toxicity of the nylon components. Nylon is enough slippery material, for its application it is necessary to equip the extruder with spikes. Despite these shortcomings, nylon is successfully used in 3D printing, since parts from this material are not as rigid as from ABS plastic, and sliding hinges can be used for them. nine0003

Polylactide (PLA). Polylactide is the most biocompatible and environmentally friendly material for 3D printers. It is made from biomass residues, sugar beet silage or corn. Having a lot of positive properties, polylactide has two essential disadvantage. Firstly, the models made from it are short-lived and gradually decompose under the influence of heat and light. Secondly, the cost of production polylactide is very high, which means that the cost of models will be much higher similar models made of other materials. Used in 3D printing technologies: SLS and FDM. nine0003

Chocolate. British scientists presented to the public the first chocolate 3D printer that prints any chocolate figurines ordered by the operator. The printer inflicts each next a layer of chocolate on top of the previous one. Thanks to the ability of chocolate to quickly harden and harden when cooled, the printing process proceeds quite quickly. In the near future, such printers will be in demand in confectionery and restaurants.

Nobody knows what what I expected was that houses would not just be built, but printed on 3D printer. The Chinese were able to think of this, and as it turned out, it turned out to be very reasonable. nine0003

The fact is that 3D the printer builds a house from industrial waste, fiberglass and cement, which is, in fact, slag concrete, which is both environmentally friendly and cheap. In addition, absolute automation eliminates costly manual builder's work. As a result, the cost of the finished house is $ 4800, which is negligible.

Teacher's story about the benefits of 3D printing:

B why is it needed for educational purposes?

3D printers in education are a great opportunity to develop spatial thinking and creative skills. Practical modeling radically changes the way children think about various objects and makes the process of teaching such sciences as more accessible and understandable programming, design, physics, mathematics, natural science. Besides, creating something with your own hands will help to cross the threshold of the usual of our society of passive consumption of typical goods to the realization of their ideas into reality. nine0003

On 3D printer can print:

§ visualization of complex structures, objects and even formulas;

§ layout of a chain reaction or physical process;

§ imitation of a fragment of a human body or organ;

§ reconstruction of historical, archaeological or geographical significance of objects.

Beyond creative development students gain practical experience in prototyping, educational the program is supplemented with new subjects - the basics of design, engineering, design and modeling. nine0003

3. Practical part.

We have fixed and familiarized ourselves with basics of 3d modeling, 3d printing and 3d printers. Now let's move on to our practical part. We will break into groups as follows 1 student + teacher. The guys will be tutors today, will guide you, help you master the Tinkercad online 3d modeling program and At the end, we will print the design keychain you received on our 3d printer

The keychain will consist of from the details that you choose yourself because it is designer, which means flight your imagination is unlimited and then 3D printed. go online editor like this it looks like on the right all forms what you can use on the left field on which we edit our model. Let's get started. nine0003

4. Printing

Connect the printer to network, select the type of plastic and temperature. We insert a thread of plastic into the hole, located near the power input. I draw your attention to the fact that The end of the thread must be cut evenly. Then click on the download button plastic (left arrow). It is important that the plastic thread is not tangled, do not press on the nozzle and do not touch it with your hands, to stop the flow of plastic, press and hold down the plastic feed button (left arrow). nine0003

5. Reflection.

Our master class has come to an end. I hope you liked it and the knowledge acquired today and skills you can apply in your future work. I AM I thank you for your patience, activity and wish you health, success and professional optimism! Please complete the feedback sheet.
