Intro to 3D Printing!
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).
