Make your own Stationery

In this lesson, students will learn how desktop 3D printing can be used to make consumer products sustainably and efficiently. The lesson begins with an overview of Batch.works - an innovative company that design, produce, sell and ship consumer products under one roof. Using the knowledge gained from the overview, together with a CAD tutorial video, students are challenged to design and 3D print their own stationery product. Finally, students develop a pitch for their product to be stocked by a retailer and the challenges of 3D printing consumer products are discussed.

**A simplified mathematical lesson plan is also included in the platform for younger students, where linear sequences are used to design and 3D print the shell of a pen**
