This is a compilation of the articles about 3D printing that have appeared in Futureminds over the past three years.

They span designing for 3D printing, types of printers, teaching schemes and safe use of these machines in a school.

This is a 'bumper' edition, with articles covering: mobile kitchens, wall painting, power tools, D&T projects, 3D printing, food resources, drone racing, textiles careers, competitions, and some H&S updates in the 'smallprint'.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) was involved with CLEAPSS in producing this guidance. HSE endorses the guidance, as it follows a sensible and proportionate approach to managing health and safety. It explains how to manage the risks presented by FFF printers.

The autumn 2017 edition of Futureminds has articles from Ultimaker, Celtic Kilncare Ltd, British Nutrition Foundation, the Food Teachers Centre and the Dorset Studio School.
