Noel Murphy vist

On the 18^th of November our school received a visit from Noel Murphy who works with Intel. He brought in a 3D printer. Intel is a huge electronics company. He explained how the 3D printer works. It is just like a normal printer but it prints layer by layer until finally it has printed the object. Noel printed us a whistle which just took over 2 hours and 30 minutes to print. He explained that you can print multiple objects with different materials such as chocolate, plastic or glass. He also said you can use websites to design your objects. At the end when the whistle was ready we had an assembly. Daniel blew the whistle as hard as he could and it worked. The 3D printer was so cool.
