Unleash your creativity with 3D printing. Learn design, engineering, and technical software skills in our live online classes. Control 3D printers through your web browser and watch them print your models in real-time.
What is 3D printing?
3D printing or additive manufacturing is the making of three-dimensional solid objects from a digital code. This is achieved using a process where an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. 3D printing enables you to produce complex shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods.
Why is 3D printing important?
It is one of the key future technologies. As the 3D printing industry grows, the landscape will change for job seekers, so it’s critical for today’s students to become fluent with the programs and machines required for 3D printing preparing them for 21st-century careers.
LEVEL 1 DESCRIPTION
This is the first step in the student's 3D printing journey. In this 5-day class each student will:
Design 2 objects using online computer-aided design software TinkerCAD.
Assign settings to a 3D printer online.
Control a 3D printer remotely to print their object.
Each live class has limited students, so everyone receives individual attention from our qualified product design instructors. Students will not just learn about software but also the basics of product design from idea to manufacturing.
Notes
The 3D prints are sent by mail within 3 business days after the last class ends.
A release will need to be completed for each student before class starts.
An email with the Zoom link will be sent to the registered email address 12 hours before class start time.
