Custom 3D Printed Phone Case Lesson Plan Create Your Own Custom Phone Case in the Classroom or Out! This lesson plan is designed for both beginners and advanced users of CAD software. I've created two paths to suit different skill levels, ensuring that everyone can participate and have fun learning about custom phone cases. If your phone isn't listed in the downloads and you're having trouble creating a case, just send me a message and I'll design one specifically for you! Since most people own iPhones, I focused on creating designs for these models. Sorry to android users, but I hope this lesson plan still sparks creativity! Here are some photos of the cases I made from the designs, along with a render of the blank cases. Beginner: Create a Custom Phone Case by Importing Pre-Made STL Files Use TinkerCAD, a user-friendly CAD software, to import pre-made phone case STL files based on your phone type. If you have an iPhone 6-X or plus version, I've included the STL files in the downloads for you to use. Advanced: Create a Custom Phone Case from Scratch Use your phone's dimensions from Apple Accessory Design Guidelines or other resources to create a custom case from scratch. This requires more expertise, but it's a great opportunity to learn advanced CAD skills using software like AutoDesk Fusion 360. Presentation: I've created a short presentation on what 3D printing is, so students can understand the capabilities of additive manufacturing and how the process works. The presentation is included in the downloads under "What is 3D Printing Presentation.pdf." Creation: This lesson plan aims to engage all audiences by creating something everyone uses daily – their phone cases! With a little creativity, you can customize your case to reflect your personality or interests. I wanted to see if this idea had been done before and was surprised to find that there wasn't a comprehensive guide available. Standards: I've ensured that this lesson plan adheres to the Maryland State standards for STEAM education. It incorporates science, technology, engineering, art, and math in a fun and interactive way, preparing students for the 21st century workforce. What's Included: * What is 3D Printing Powerpoint * Lesson Plan PDF with directions on creating cases for advanced and beginner levels * iPhone 6-X and plus sizes blank case STL files (my designs) * Apple Accessory Design Guidelines
