PENDLETON, S.C. (WSPA) – A number of highschool college students attended a 3D printing workshop at Tri County Technical School Pendleton campus.
The workshop helps college students improve their creativity and troubleshooting expertise.
“I feel with the 3D modeling software program, with the ability to take one thing that’s simply an concept after which making it a actuality by means of 3D printing is de facto attention-grabbing to me and I actually like that half about it,” mentioned Evan Lynch.
Leaders at TCTC mentioned the camp helps college students discover ways to create their very own 3D printer utilizing primary pc aided design expertise.
College students made collectible figurines and enjoyable prints utilizing every thing they discovered.
