A collaborative robotics and engineering project built for educators, makerspaces, and STEM programs.
CADClass and Bambu Lab partnered to create a hands-on learning experience that combines CAD, robotics, 3D printing, programming, and mechanical design into one approachable classroom-ready project.
Using the CyberBrick platform, students build and control a fully functional 3D printable robotic arm while exploring real engineering concepts through guided, project-based learning.

The CyberBrick Robotic Arm was designed to introduce robotics and engineering through a project that feels exciting, approachable, and achievable for learners.
Students assemble a fully functional robotic arm with moving joints, a working gripper, and a handheld remote control using standard PLA, common 9g servos, and the CyberBrick system.
The project combines mechanical design, movement systems, electronics, and fabrication into a build that gives students a clearer understanding of how engineering works in practice.
This makes the project ideal for:

The CyberBrick platform and robotic arm project were designed to simplify implementation for educators and make technical learning more approachable for students.
The robotic arm prints quickly, assembles easily, and removes many of the common barriers that make robotics projects difficult to introduce into educational programs.

You do not need prior CAD experience to start.
The course is designed for complete beginners while still offering enough depth for educators, makers, engineering students, and professionals who want a stronger foundation in Fusion [360].
Lessons are paced intentionally, with each project introducing concepts at the right moment instead of overwhelming you with everything upfront.
If you’ve tried YouTube tutorials before, you already know the problem: too much information, no structure, and a lot of Googling just to figure out what’s happening.
CAD Class solves that with a sequential learning system designed to keep you progressing.
The Bambu Lab CyberBrick platform creates opportunities to teach:
Students gain hands-on experience with how systems work together while educators introduce multiple STEM disciplines through one connected project.
For educational programs, this creates a practical and engaging way to connect digital design with physical creation.

The complete robotic arm is optimized to print as a single job on the Bambu Lab A1 Mini, while remaining compatible with most FDM 3D printers.
This allows students and educators to spend less time troubleshooting prints and more time building, testing, and learning.
The CyberBrick Robotic Arm was designed to encourage experimentation and creativity.
Students and educators can redesign gripper pads, modify arm components, test new mechanisms, and build custom upgrades using their own CAD skills and ideas.
The project supports iteration, remixing, and continued exploration, making it a strong foundation for advanced engineering and robotics projects.

CADClass and Bambu Lab share a common goal: making advanced technology more accessible through hands-on learning.
By combining CADClass curriculum development with the Bambu Lab CyberBrick ecosystem and 3D printing technology, this collaboration creates engaging engineering experiences that help learners move from digital design into physical creation.
Together, CADClass and Bambu Lab are helping educational programs bring robotics, CAD, and fabrication into a more approachable and engaging learning experience.
