This is a beginning course in 3D printing. Students will learn about the history of 3D printing, its uses and how it works. The many types of 3D printers and the wide range of materials that can be used for printing will be discussed. As part of the actual printing process, students will use 3D modeling software to access existing files of 3D models for printing 3D objects. Toward the end of the course, students will work on customizing and printing a 3D printed bobblehead or light box. Students will learn how to set up the 3D printer, change filaments and perform basic maintenance. No prior experience is required. Participants should be comfortable following directions to navigate computer software.
NOTE: Total cost to participate is $112 ($28 per session) and includes course materials. Payment should be made directly to Talent Maker City after registration is processed. Registration fees are nonrefundable, and a signed liability waiver is required to participate.
