Filaments - printing strings
Filaments for 3D printers Just as an inkjet printer needs a cartridge to print, 3D printers need printing filaments, also known as filaments. These most often differ in the material they are made of. Read on to find out what 3D filaments exist and how to choose between them. Types of filaments 3D filaments are made from many materials, each with different properties that directly affect what the filament is suitable for. Let's take a look together at the most common types of filament. PLA filament PLA filament is made up of polylactic acid and is a popular choice for both beginner and advanced 3D printers. It is an eco-friendly and safe 3D filament used to make medical implants or consumer products such as food packaging or disposable tableware. It can be purchased in both glow-in-the-dark and traditional versions. PETG filament PETG filament is a modified and improved variation of PET filament. Due to its flexibility and impact resistance, it is used to produce protective phone covers or mechanical parts. Most PETG filaments are also safe for contact with food

Puppet Carving
Turn wood into a puppet according to your imagination. It is our imagination and energy that transform a piece of wood into a puppet. Wood has its own structure, which guides our chisel. If we are attentive and open to improvisation, even a random cut can inspire us on where to go next in seeking its shape and expression. Then, through it, we can tell stories...
Puppet Therapy
We will let you understand how to use puppets as an effective therapy tool. See how we are developing a methodology to teach this phenomenon. Join the global project and see the courses we run.
