3D printing has many creative and practical uses, and both the technology and materials have advanced rapidly in the last five years. The price of 3D printers has also decreased dramatically, making this technology increasingly affordable to all. In this one-day workshop, participants will experience a mix of presentations and live demonstrations, allowing them to see and use a 3D printer and the materials available for use.
The workshop will cover the steps to create 3D models using free and open-source software, and participants will receive a small 3D printed model to take home. No prior experience with 3D printing or design software is required, and all materials will be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops, though a limited number of laptops will be available for use.
Admission to the workshop is free however booking is essential.
These workshops are funded by Leitrim Local Community Development Committee under the 2023-2027 LEADER Programme.
