Summer Camp at Bee Best Learning

By ML -
The kids at Bee Best Learning Center had a full week of fun-filled experience in 3D printing and model creation using simple tools such as Blokify and TinkerCAD. Children from ages 8 to 12 were eager to learn how to create their own models and explore these new tools for 3D designs. One of the kids, 9 yr-old Arthur created his own dragon model from scratch using TinkerCAD. His older sister, created more sophisticated and polished models such as the sword. The younger children created simple castle models and other things using Blokify.

Here is a glimpse of the wonderful 3D creations they have made and pictures of the children showing off their models.

Wow! We were simply amazed by the creativity of these students.

SE3D Summer Camps is a great way to introduce young children to the concept of 3D printing and teaches them the tools to develop their creative skills.

How 3D Printing Will Revolutionize Henna Tattoos

By Cecillia Wong. -

Originating from Ancient India, Henna (also known as Mehndi) is a body art where decorative designs are drawn onto a person’s body using a paste created from the leaves of a henna plant. It is commonly used as an accessory on special occasions such as weddings and holidays. Some of the holidays celebrated with henna are Purim,  Diwali , Passover, and various saints’ days.   Where can you get henna tattoos? Henna has historically been used in the Arabian Peninsula, Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, Carthage, and North Africa. There are independent henna artists in the United States. However, hiring a henna artist can cost you anywhere upwards of $75/hr. How will 3D printing affect henna printing? The application of henna is very demanding. It is traditionally applied by highly skilled artists with a steady hand as once the material is applied, it will stain the skin almost immediately. The tattoos can last up to three weeks without fading. It ...

My 3D printer can bioprint... right? NOT

Ear scaffold printed by r3bEL bioprinter Plastic widget printed by a typical 3D printer By Mayasari Lim, Ph.D. When the r3bEL from SE3D is on display at CES , NSTA or other educational events focused on STEM, the first impression is that it’s another 3D printer like those manufactured by MakerBot or Dremel . As you move in closer and notice that there is no spool for filament, one becomes a bit puzzled and asks the question, “Dr. Lim, this is a 3D printer right?” In some ways but its features and applications are very different than the 3D printers most educators are familiar with. While the r3bEL may have the basic physical structure and platform resembling a 3D printer, it has certain distinct features that cannot be produced in 3D printers typically found in schools. The r3bEL is actually classified as a “bioprinter” for the following; F ACT #1 – It does not print plastic! Most desktop 3D printers like MakerBot are based on fused deposition ...

Beginners Guide to Bioprinting: Pluronic as a biomaterial

By Cecillia Wong. -

Here is the first blog to our series of beginners guide to bioprinting. The purpose of this guide is to provide basic knowledge in a topic of interest in the field of bioprinting. This blog will feature the use   of Pluronic as a biomaterial for bioprinting. When using r3bEL to print cellular scaffolds, Pluronic F-127 has been our favored biomaterial. Pluronic, also known as Poloxamer 407, is a hydrophilic non-ionic surfactant,[1] It is also a thermo-reversible hydrogel, meaning that it can change from liquid to solid state depending on the temperature, and in this case, it is a liquid at cold temperatures and a solid at room temperature. Pluronic is widely used in multiple fields due to its surfactant properties which allow for a lower surface tension between lipids and liquids. In the cosmetics industry, it is used in dissolving oily ingredients in water. Pluronic acts as a cleaning agent to safely remove lipids from the lens films in contacts solution. Pluronic i...
