FAQ About 3D Printers
Are 3D printers kid friendly?
On one hand, 3D printing can be a great educational tool for children to learn about design, engineering, and technology. There are also many 3D printing programs and software that are specifically designed for children, such as Tinkercad and Makers Empire, that provide an easy-to-use interface and educational content.
However, 3D printers also involve some safety risks. The high temperatures and moving parts of the printer can be dangerous if not handled properly, and the fumes from melting plastic can be harmful if inhaled. Children should always be supervised when using a 3D printer, and proper safety measures, such as wearing gloves and safety glasses, should be taken.
