Grant brings 3-D printing into GCHS classroom

GRUNDY CENTER — Three-dimensional printers have made headlines lately as engineers have made breakthrough after breakthrough, including the first-ever car made exclusively from printed parts. Thanks to a federal Perkins Grant, students at Grundy Center High School now have the opportunity to learn about the technology.
    Grundy Center High School industrial technology teacher Kris Seitz procured a 3-D printer for the school this year.
    “This is something that we’ve wanted for quite awhile,” he said.
    Students in Computer Aided Design (CAD), Project Lead the Way, art, TAG and possibly other classes will have a chance to work with the printer, which uses PLA filament to print three-dimensional objects.
