3DPrint.com presents two new online courses created to help you master essential design skills in 3D printing. People new to 3D printing design should take Beginner Design for 3D Printing, which leads directly into Advanced Design for 3D Printing. People with fundamental design skills can join the Advanced Design course directly. Participants will earn a certificate from 3DPrint.com.

Beginner Design for 3D Printing

No experience required. Learn the basics of CAD and the design rules for 3D printing. This course will cover the full design process, from conception to final prototype.

Each session in this 4-session intensive course focuses on learning design principles and applying what you’ve learned to various tools, with assignment prompts to help you check out the tool and create a design within the next week.

Each session will explore different approaches to designing in 3D, such as how to create a cube and sphere, combine objects, and add and subtract material. Once you complete this introductory course, you will be ready to take Advanced Design for 3D Printing, which begins two weeks later.
