I wanted to design a business card which stood-out. So I measured the dimensions of a credit card, modelled it up in FreeCAD, and put my name/email on it. It turned out pretty awesome... I figure someone else may like this idea, so I wrote a routine up in OpenSCAD and uploaded it here! Technically you can write whatever 3 lines you wish. It's fully adjustable on font size + placement.

It's a novel business card which makes a good nerdy impression.

I usually design things in CAD because it's easier. Once the design is done, it can then be translated over to OpenSCAD. FreeCAD is fairly familiar because I took mechanical drawing (by hand) and CAD for a couple quarters in High School. OpenSCAD is fairly familiar because I took a couple years of C++ in High School. So, with just High School education, you should have sufficient knowledge to replicate this from scratch if desired.

Print a business card to give yourself a competitive edge amongst other young professionals/students.

Minimally you'll learn how to 3D print. Additionally, you could learn:
(1) How to use a customizer
(2) How to use OpenSCAD (copy the code here and edit)
(3) How to edit g-code (more on this later)

Anyone old enough to use a 3D printer

If you plan to edit the OpenSCAD:

• Computer Science (preferably C)
• Geometry

If you plan on using this as inspiration and going to FreeCAD:

• Mechanical Drawing
• Computer Aided Drafting
• Geometry

Synthesis of aforementioned subjects (geometry, CAD, computer science).

Run the customizer to generate the STL. Slice the STL. Edit the g-code so that you can replace your filament (if you do not have a dual extruder) at the first layer after the thickness of your card. Here's a YouTube video to assist with this process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6GGh4OTJ2Y

1-3 hours.

You require filament and a 3D printer!

The grade should be based on the students ability to successfully incorporate 3 lines of text.
