Makerbot Replicator 2x Tri-fold
3D printers are pretty hot right now. Despite negative press about people using these printers to build plastic guns, there have been some great stories about building artificial hands inexpensively with a 3d printer and a fist full of electronics. There is something appealing about building your own unique cell phone case or being able to create your own plastic parts at home by downloading a small file. The MakerBot Replicator 2 pictured above is just over $2000. The model I want you to create the brochure on has a better staging plate to create the models on and has a plastic bubble on top which makes watching the build a little easier.
Your task is to use Microsoft Publisher to create a tri-fold presenting the MakerBot Replicator 2x. You can use a template or not. Your decision.
Do a google search to find photos, specifications, cost information and accessories.
Here is a video that explains how the machine works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13hXothTtaU
Find information on specifications that you can copy and paste.
Look for high resolution photos. You will want to find a good picture of the actual printer. My recommendation would be to look for objects printed on the printer and use those images to illustrate the possible uses of a 3d printer.
Turn in a folded, printed version of your tri-fold in black and white. Also turn in the finished file so I can print one out in color.
