Take the first step to 3D printing by learning to slice, melt, and extrude your own plastic creations!
Class Description
This introductory course is for anyone who wants to get into 3D printing, a type of additive manufacturing. Specifically, you will learn how to use the Prusa printers in the Digifab lab, a type of fused deposition modeling printer. By the end of the class, you'll learn about designing parts for 3D printing, slicing parts, and exporting GCode to the printers so they know where to move. The class will also include testing on the machines so that you can start printing whatever you like within the constraints of these machines.
Instructor: Kevin Naber (He/Him)
Kevin has 6 years experience in 3d printing and is a lifelong tinkerer. He delights in using art and technology for functional uses and personal expression. Detail and strength are properties of 3d printing which he enjoys finding the best balance and sharing the knowledge gained from such experiences.
Learning Objectives
- Introduce 3d printing/additive manufacturing
- Instruction on where to find shape files, how to slice them, G-code, and printer settings
- Discuss, if time allows, other 3d printing techniques like stereolithography or metal 3d printing
- Take your own 3d print home!
