About this class
The popularity and awareness of 3D Printing is exploding. It is breaking down barriers in design and manufacturing, and making what was previously impossible, possible for anyone with just a basic understanding of the technology.
In this class we’ll give you that basic understanding by putting some 3D printers into action. And yes, you’ll leave the room with your prints, free of charge: everything is included in the training fee. You’ll gain exposure to the main facets of 3D Printing including design, 3D Modelling, preparing the file for print, and finally, 3D Printing.
Designers, Engineers, Technologists, Entrepreneurs, Hackers and Hobbyists: this class is suitable for both novices and those more experienced with technology. Anyone with an interest in 3D printing and wants to learn should come along!
