In this class we will show how to create a digital model that will be used to print your first 3D object starting from scratch. We will begin with general 3D printing workflow. Then we will introduce three basic methods for generating a 3D digital model. You will be shown in the simple and practical way how to get models from the web, by scanning real objects, or by using simple CAD software. In the end of the class we will explain basic rules that should be followed in order to get the printable models.

In this workshop participants will be introduced to the basic methods of designing and 3D printing for metal casting. This class is a great opportunity to experience and explore 3D printing in an easy and understandable format, whether you are a crafter, designer, artist or generally interested in new technology.

This class will introduce you to basic 3D printing, with a step-by-step instruction in designing an object using Autodesk 123D Design, a 3D modeling software. Learners will get an introduction to Formlabs Form+1 3D printer – we will cover basic technicalities, functions, set up and cleanup. Students will have the chance to design and print their own castable wax/resin model. We will also show the steps to finishing the 3D printed piece, preparing it for casting into metal.

In this workshop participants will be introduced to the very basics of translating an image from 2D to 3D. This class is a great opportunity to experience and explore 3D printing in an easy and understandable format whether you are a crafter, designer, artist or generally interested in new technology and its possibilities.

We’ll show you how to adjust, resize, manipulate and optimize your image in design programs such as Gimp, Photoshop, Inkscape and/or Illustrator. Participants will follow the instructor in a step by step procedure as we work together to translate from 2D to a 3D file using 3D modelling software – Autodesk 123D Design. Learners will get an introduction to the 3D printer’s functions and will have the chance to print their own design!

In this class you will learn the basic 3D printing procedures, necessary for proper and safe printing. It will enable you to start making your first simple 3D objects. After the course, we recommend that you try 3D printing on your own – we’ll be there to provide assistance should you need it. With further exercise you will be able to create more complex 3D prints. We offer distinct classes for each of our printers (UP Plus 2, Ultimaker 2 and Form 1+)
