The 2019 Year 10 Concept-to-Construction class completed their course last year with great success. They were given instructions to design an outdoor table/seat that could be placed in the school. It needed to be able to last in the weather, be strong enough to seat six people, low maintenance and manufactured within the provided budget.

Once they had finalised their individual designs, students used our 3D-printer to create to-scale models. They then made a decision as a class on what design best suited the brief. The design they went with was powder coated to protect the table from rust. Planks were made from recycled plastic to outlast timber which also requires very little maintenance.

The goal was for the students to collaborate and work effectively in groups to complete three impressive tables which would be placed around the school. The quality of the tables is exceptional, which they are all very proud of. We are currently laser etching a label to be screwed to the tables with the students’ names to recognise their success for many years to come.
