Description
Less is More, that’s why I am Tiny!
Tinyboy 3D printer is ultra-portable by being small. A one-to-one student to printer ratio can be achieved in computer classrooms to maximize the exposure of student to 3D printing technology. Students can also carry the printer around beyond classrooms to engage in their learning activities. On the other hand, it is very usable for education purpose for printing figures, toys and other creations that students like. Together with a portable device running Windows and 12V power supply, Tinyboy can print everywhere.
Home & Classroom Friendly
A 3D printer usually takes 20~30 minutes to print a small object. Without TinyBoy, a teacher wanting to encourage students to print their designs into reality, would require excessive amount to be invested in multiple conventional 3D printers, not to mention the space required to house these machines.
A school may purchase or build multiple Tinyboys for a classroom so that more students can enjoy the creative process. On the other hand, with a reasonable printing area, students can create a variety of models and small toys which they would enjoy.
Be an Jr. Inventor!
The Tinyboy 3D printer is designed for learning. To encourage the learners not just to consume, but to become Makers. Tinyboy can be assembled by students using a few simple tools. Students can operate and maintain their own machines by themselves, so they can understand the Maker culture through making.
The process of making can transform education by inviting students to go beyond being consumers of education. They can be a maker of anything, moving from being directed to self-directed through the process.
Tina2 3D 列印機:輕巧便攜,學習利器
Tina2 3D 3D打印機(前身是Tinyboy2) 以其小巧便攜的設計,讓學生能夠在電腦教室中實現一對一的列印體驗,最大限度地增加學生接觸3D列印技術的機會。學生也可以將列印機帶出教室,參與各種學習活動。此外,Tina2 對於教育用途非常實用,可列印學生喜愛的模型、玩具及其他創作。配合運行Windows的便攜設備和12V電源,Tina2 可以隨時隨地進行列印。
家庭與教室的好夥伴
一般3D打印機需要20至30分鐘才能列印一個小物件。沒有Tiny2的話,老師若想鼓勵學生將設計變為現實,則需投入大量資金購買多台傳統3D打印機,還需考慮安置這些機器的空間。學校可以購買或自行組裝多台Tinyboy供教室使用,讓更多學生享受創作的過程。同時,Tina2具有合理的列印區域,學生可以創作各種他們喜愛的模型和小玩具。
成為小小發明家!
Tinya 3D打印機專為學習而設計,鼓勵學習者不僅僅是消費者,更要成為創客(Maker)。學生可以使用一些簡單的工具自行組裝Tinyboy,並自行操作和維護機器,這樣他們可以通過製作過程來理解創客文化。
製作過程能夠改變教育模式,邀請學生從單純的知識消費者轉變為創造者。他們可以製作任何東西,從被動學習轉向自主學習,從而在學習過程中獲得更多主動性和創造力。
