Summary/Abstract: In the article, the authors presented their proposal of implementation of the project addressed to the young generation of pupils and students enabling intensification of teaching the computer techniques as well as up-to-date rapid prototyping and reverse prototyping techniques. Application of systems of 3D printing as soon as at the stage of junior secondary schools and at secondary schools (of the technical profiles) may contribute to development of 3D perception of subjects in interaction with the systems of computer-assisted designing and the virtual 3D reality. An aim of implementation of the programme of teaching computer techniques as well as the skills of 3D printing is to raise the technical level of youths through the possibility of accomplishment of tasks with the use of relevant IT tools and systems of rapid prototyping (3D printers) as well as to initiate with the help thereof the creative potential in their future vocational life (Chlebus 1998, p. 51-60; Perzycka 2010). The article is of the conceptual nature.
