Case Study: Westbury High School turns student sketches into 3D prints with Meshy

Westbury High School turns student sketches into 3D prints with Meshy, using 100 free credits every month

Westbury High School's digital arts program faced the challenge of integrating 3D modeling into its curriculum, as traditional software was too expensive, difficult to license, and had a steep learning curve for high school students. This created a barrier to turning student sketches into physical objects. The school used Meshy's image-to-3D AI generation feature to overcome these obstacles and bridge the gap between 2D design and 3D printing.

The solution implemented by Meshy provided a fast and accessible workflow, allowing students to easily convert their refined digital illustrations into 3D models for printing. This enabled students to physically hold and then hand-paint their own designs, significantly increasing engagement. The results were a stronger connection between digital and physical craftsmanship and an expansion of the program into science and robotics, with final works now being displayed in the school's art show.
