After the success of the first series of workshops, a new series of workshops is launching for the month of June.
What happens when China’s rich design tradition meets contemporary technology like 3D Printing? How does cultural context affect contemporary design? The Discover 3D Printing Workshop attempts to answer these questions with your help.
In this fun and hands-on workshop, participants will become familiar with 3D modeling and learn how to Visualize, Design and 3D Print their creations. Enthusiasm for Design and Technology is the only requirement. No prior experience is necessary.
- For Ages 18+.
- Class size limited to 12 per session
- No prior experience is necessary,
- do bring your own laptop and mouse**
Topics covered:
- Collecting ideas for design: get inspired by Chinese culture
- Introduction to 3D Printing – What is 3D Printing?
- Download and Install software
- 3D modeling
- Live 3D Printing!
This 3 hour course will cover the basics of 3D modeling and will offer participants the chance to print on one of our 10, Up Plus 2 3D Printers, courtesy of Beijing Tiertime Technologies. Each class includes a 3D printed object up to 10 grams in material weight*. 3D Printers and material will be provided.
*Due to long print times, participants may be asked to pick up their prints at a later time. Alternatively, participants may also have their prints delivered to their homes at an additional charge.
**If you are unable to bring a laptop we will be demonstrating the 3D modeling process live over a projector and will provide resources for later use.
