3d Printer Project Proposal

Satisfactory Essays

Dear 3DP360,

I am a high school student in Wilmington, NC. I am looking for a 3D printer that I can use as a part of my senior project for school. Before graduating from high school, I must create a large project about a topic that I am interested in. My project is about 3D printing technology and it's use in the modern world. A main part of the project is community outreach, which I will achieve by teaching Elementary and Middle school students about 3D printing technology and demonstrate how 3D printing works. Elementary and Middle school lessons will include a presentation about 3D printing technology, it's use in everyday business, it's development, future uses, and also a demonstration of the printer that hundreds students can watch. Through my project kids will be able to learn about 3D printing technology and have fun doing it.

A new XYZprinting Da Vinci 1.0 costs between $450 and $500, but with my limited budget I am not able to spend over $350. (this includes the cost of a printer and multiple roles of filament) I would like to purchase a printer for around $250 to stay within my budget. I occasionally find an XYZ da Vinci 1.0 for sale at around $200 to $300, but when I call the person selling it, they have already sold the printer.

I am familiar with the XYZ Da Vinci machines and it would be the ideal machine for my project. I am also open to other 3D printer recommendations If you know of something that would be better. I have used other 3d printers through other projects that I have done. This includes makerbot, prusa i3v, cube, and Rigidbot. I have never owned my own 3D printer, but I am familiar with the technology and need one for my senior
