I know nothing about 3D Printing.
I don’t own a printer, I don’t know CAD, literally nothing.
My 9 year old son, however, is pretty smart. For his 4th grade science fair project this year, he wanted to test the strength of concrete when reinforced with a 3D printed support vs traditional steel support.
I did some research and set up an OnShape account for him and found some instructional videos on YouTube for him to watch. In about 3 or 4 hours he had taken the design he was describing to me in his head and had a 3D version of it designed in OnShape.
We finally got it printed and I couldn’t be more pumped. I know it isn’t much, but for me to see him do this, my mind is blown.
It is a hollow hexagonal rod with holes in it. As my son said it’s so “the support and the concrete are like one solid object”.
I know what I’m planning to get him for Christmas this year.
