from teens to retirees, club introduces islanders to 3d printing
Miguel Lopez is new to computers
But after learning for a few weeks, he watched a 3D printer go by and print out the tire wheel model he designed.
\"I am very excited about the performance of the machine [works]
Lopez said: \"When there is something in our mind, we can create it in the physical [form].
\"Lopez learned all about 3D printing at a weekly club meeting at the Charlottetown Federal Center Library. Led by 17-year-
Old Andrew Chen, a member of the club, is committed to building a 3D printer and creating his own design using a free computer
Auxiliary design software.
Diverse group chen, who recently graduated from high school, founded the club as part of the Duke of Edinburgh project and received a $1,500 grant to purchase the necessary equipment.
Charlottetown teenagers will teach islanders the basics of 3D printing. When he was in sixth grade, he started learning 3D printing and wanted to share his passion with others.
\"I am very happy to be able to share my knowledge and a little bit of expertise,\" Chen said . \".
From teenagers to retirees, Mr. Chen has attracted a passionate team who are all passionate about learning new skills.
\"I think how we can attract people of different ages, different backgrounds, all professions to join this club and attract people who are interested in 3D printing is very, very interesting, but they are interested in using it in their own way. \"

But recently, she began to create interesting websites and found a love for computers.

But once I started doing it, I really got the bug . \"
Motard said the cat she designed was not as good as she hoped, but she plans to keep working on improving her skills.
This fall, she has signed up for another 3D printing course through UPEI\'s Senior College.

\"When you think you need something, you immediately think about what the price is in the market and where there is a sale,\" Hong said . \".
\"I think that\'s the charm of 3D printing. When you have an idea in your mind, you can draw it down with software and print it out.
\"With the printing of the design and the distribution of the completion certificate, the club is now over.
Mr. Chen will travel to the University of Toronto on September, but the 3D printer will remain in the library for public use. More P. E. I.
