Your school has a subscription to the Polar Cloud, congratulations! Let's get started.
Learn to use the Polar Cloud to manage 3D printing in your classroom or entire school. Connect printers, share access, and share the printing workload with capable students. Involving them (even if just a little) helps them learn additive design concepts.
By completing these 5 steps, you are ready to run an effective 3D printing program at your school.
There are multiple ways students can join a school. Import your students from Google Classroom, or share the "Join Code" with them. Explore the articles below.
Adding your printers to your school is required for proper sharing, and reporting. This requires that you've connected your 3D printers to the Polar Cloud.
Now that you've connected a printer, you have to decide how you want to use it! Do you want to be the only one doing the printing? Or, do you want to involve others, saving you time and effort, and sharing the printing experience?
Objects can come from several different places. There are popular object repositories like Printables and Thingiverse. Or, you can design your own! Either way, the two ways to get objects into the Polar Cloud are shown below.
The main event! Get ready to 3D print something!
The 5 steps above will get you started, but there's plenty more to be done on the cloud! Review some of the activities below to get ideas for your classroom or school implementation.
