About this Event
You will learn SO MUCH in this workshop that will provide a foundation to begin exploring 3D printing!
Over the course of 4 Saturday sessions (May 25-June 15) we will cover types of 3D printing and topics ranging from how a 3D print is made, software you can use to produce parts, and 3D scanning. You can expect a mix of discussion, demonstration, reviewing printed parts, and we'll have plenty of time for questions. Free, web-based software will be introduced and you'll also learn about other aspects of 3D printing like materials, production concerns, safety and waste.
No previous experience required.
