Here’s a 3d printer website:

On Thursday DR Sam Vettese came in and told us about here 3D printer and how it uses recyclable potato starch. DR Sam Vettese works in art and design at Napier University with 3D Printers. She brought a 3d printer in to show us then we made models out of plasticine. We were wee replicators for a while.
Dr Sam Vettese used to make bracelets and looked very pretty, Now she makes 3D models and researches new materials. Her favourite printing material is laminated wool.
We explored design ideas of what we would want printed in 3-D using Plasticine and got to take them home. What do YOU think of 3D Printers?
Thank you so much to DR Sam Vettese for the amazing art lesson/visit we hope you enjoy every moment.

Great blog upper school editors!
I was amazed by the talk by Dr Vitesse and how many uses the 3-D printer can be applied to. I thought her souvenirs of buildings and object files such as unicorns from Thingiverse were awesome.
We were all excited by the afternoon in the upper area and we now have an insight into another job in Art and Design. This has helped us with our Evaluating and Appreciating outome in ACfE. Thank you from us all for taking time to give us your expertise.
