Teaching 3D printing in a theatre program? This book hands you everything you need to run a props and costume course that actually works – no engineering background required.

Teaching Practical Theatrical 3D Printing: Creating Props for Production speaks directly to instructors. No technical jargon. Just clear, practical guidance on bringing 3D printing into stagecraft, costume, and props classes.

You’ll learn how to:

• Choose the right printers and filaments for theatrical work

• Set up your shop or lab safely and efficiently

• Guide students from design to finished prop

Inside you’ll find ready-to-use lesson plans, rubrics, and real student projects tested in actual classrooms. Think fake noses, candlestick phones, buttons, 3D scans, historical recreations, and even linear actuators. Each project includes step-by-step instructions, plus examples of poor, average, and excellent work – with clear explanations of how to help students level up.

Every chapter gives you objectives, summaries, checklists, and reflection points so you can build confidence fast and start using 3D printers right away.

Perfect for instructors teaching Props or Costume Design and Construction who want to bring state-of-the-art tools into theatre production.
