Want to use our 3D printer? Have questions? Then this demo night is for you.This demo night will provide an introduction to how 3D printing works and give participants the basic skills needed to borrow the 3D printer from the library.
We will cover the following topics:
-An overview of different additive manufacturing technologies, filament types, FDM printer types
-Different ways of creating a 3D model (creating it from scratch, as well as sources for free models available online)
-Preparing a file for printing
-Basics of printer troubleshooting & maintenance
Some resources will also be passed along to assist in further research into:
-3D modelling software options
-Top 3D printers in different price ranges
-Sources for raw material (filament)
The topics above will be followed by a Q&A session to go through anything that hasn’t been covered. OTL's 3D Demos are run by an excellent facilitator team that usually includes Tom, Alex, and sometimes a mystery guest.
