If you want to know how the items are made, simply ask. I was shown two different types of software they use, one for beginners like me and another that is more advanced. If you are unsure what you'd like to make, there is a free website you can use to choose from pre-designed items that you can get printed. DimensionAlley also offer the option to turn your own designs into 3D printed reality with their design service. Make a paper drawing of what it is you want to have made or describe it in detail and it too can be printed.
They will offer a number of special activities during the Berlin school-holidays aimed at children and they are also offering special activities for Berlin kitas and schools, so if you think your child's kita/school would be interested, then get in touch, or if you simply want to pop in with your child, go and take a look. They also offer children's birthday parties with prices starting at €15 per head. Definitely a birthday party with a difference.
I am so excited about all the possibilities 3D printing offers. When my oldest is old enough to do more detailed drawings, I can take his drawings to the cafe and get them made in to 3D objects! I can get special, unique presents made for friends and family and I am planning on making a one-off board game to play with my oldest with 3D printed characters, the possibilities are seemingly endless and so much fun!
General printing prices are by the hour and the length of time needed of course depends on the size and density of your design. Simply explain what you want to create and they'll let you know how much it will be. If you have the know-how, you can even design your item at home, save it on to a card or hard-drive and bring it with you to print.
