There is an increasing demand by the labour market for operators who can develop complex digital models for 3D printing, a fundamental element to reduce the time and costs of manufacturing. And even at the classical lyceums, students learn to use their hands and transform their ideas into projects through modelling and digital manufacturing.
Twelve year-four students from the Liceo statale Terenzio Mamiani in Rome will spend 50 hours of their school-work programme on “Modelling and 3D Printing.” The course, developed with the History and Philosophy Professor Fabio Prudenzi, moulds a variety of competences with techniques and technology:
- 3D Modelling
- Project-based Learning
- Interior Design
- Design Thinking
- Digital Manufacturing and Materials
- 3D Slicing (Simplify)
- 3D Printing – Laser Cutting
- Post-production
The two-week course, which will be held in the digital environments at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym (Video Lab and Fab Lab) that are equipped with a wide range of hardware and software, will be taught by Paola De Marco e Matteo Viscogliosi with the support of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale staff.
FMD School Innovation Coordinator and external tutor Cecilia Stajano interviewed participants.

Practical activities should be part of any educational course. We always see objects that are already made, but now we have understood how they are made.
