3D Printing by Dr. Alberto Parmiggiani, Senior Research Scientist, IHMC

March 28, 2026

The March Science Saturday topic was 3D Printing. Students learned to use CAD software to design 3D items. They used their new skills to design a robot part with their initials or other text on it. The parts will be printed on one of  IHMCs 3D printer and parents will be able to pick them up at a later date (because 3D printing is too slow to do during a 90 minute Science Saturday) to  take them home.
