In the first session we'll take a big picture look at the world of 3D printing. Where did it come from and where is it going? More importantly where do YOU go with it? There are a few different design programs you can use, and based on your ambitions, you'll be directed to the best tools for your work. Over the next two sessions, you'll refine a design and learn how to translate it into plastic.
Expect to do some of the design work between class sessions. There is not enough time for everyone to print during class. Students will schedule time with the instructor to print their design. You will be responsible for knowing the work-flow and monitoring your print. Each student will have the opportunity to print one object. Approximate Size 3.5 inches x 3.5 inches x 5 inches. Previous experience with SketchUp, Blender or other 3D design programs is a plus, but not required.
