Beginner Design for 3D Printing - Online event and one-week workshop

No experience required. Learn the essentials of 3D modeling programs (CAD) and the design rules for 3D printing from design experts. This foundational course will cover the complete design process, from conception through final prototype.

Each session in this one-week intensive course will focus on learning design & printing principles and applying what you’ve learned to cutting-edge tools, with accompanying guided assignments to help you create a unique design in just a few days.

Session 1: Beginning Design Principles
Learn to think like a designer in this session, which includes an in-depth overview of ways to approach designing basic shapes for 3D printing, followed by a demonstration of Tinkercad, an easy-to-use 3D modeling program that allows you to turn your idea into a design for a 3D printer.

Session 2: How to Prep Your Models For Printing
Join this live interactive demo of 3D printer preparation programs and how to use them, with accompanying Q+A to answer all your questions. See a few examples of difficult to plate models and discuss different orientations for different results.
