In this workshop, participants will learn the workflow of 3D printing an object from digital files. Steps include manipulating the model, exporting files, and printing the object on IA's Ultimaker 2 printers. You will learn to prepare files for 3D printing using Autodesk123Design. 

The workshop will focus on printing two kinds of objects. These include:

- an object from a 3D scan, and, 

- an object designed entirely in 3D modelling software (Autodesk 123Design or Rhino). 

Bring your own files to work with, or use the files provided by the instructor. We encourage you to register for Intro to 3D Scanning! in the morning, and then learn to print your files in the afternoon.

3D printing can be greatly enhanced through advanced 3D modelling. Different approaches to creating work using 3D modelling will be demonstrated. We will adjust the amount of 3D modelling training during the course to the kinds of files people will be bringing. If you are bringing Rhino files, please let us know. 

An intermediate series on 3D modelling is being develeoped for Spring/Summer 2016.

Date: Saturday February 20

Time: 1pm-4pm

Registration Fee: $45 With Annual Studio/Workshop Pass (see below); $60 Regular Price

Material Fee: None.

What, if any, prerequisite knowledge should students have? None. Experience in any 3D modeling software is beneficial.

We recommend that you review the basic tutorials on 123Design here in advance to get the most out of your 3 hour workshop.  http://www.123dapp.com/design

What to Bring: A laptop. Files in 123Design if you like. If you are bringing files in another 3D modelling program such as Rhino, please let us know at education@interaccess.org.
