ABOUT THIS EVENT

Arts & DIY

Event Overview

Don't just read articles about cool applications of 3D printing, come up with your own!

In this class, we'll discuss the history of 3D printing, current applications of the technology, and teach the basics of 3D design and modeling. Each student will create a unique 3D model of a creature and watch as their creation comes to life in our MakerBot Replicator 2 3D printers!

We recommend you set up a profile on TinkerCAD and play around with a few tutorials before coming to class. We'll be teaching on this free, browser-based 3D modeling platform. http://tinkercad.com

You'll leave class with something that you've designed and printed, to impress all your friends with!

Minimum age

All ages welcome

    So excited to learn about the exciting area of 3D printing. It was helpful to have followed the instructions to explore the TinkerCAD program before class. I got to see my creation come to life right there in their very cool workspace. Small class and individual attention by Ally and Stu, great teachers!
