Discover the potential of 3D printing as a powerful tool for rapid fabrication and prototyping. In this 3-hour workshop, participants will gain comprehensive knowledge about Additive Manufacturing technologies and the operation of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers.

Fundamentals of CNC: Understand the principles behind Additive Manufacturing and its role in modern fabrication processes.

Design for 3D Printing: Explore how to optimize and prepare your digital files for successful, high-quality prints.

Slicing Techniques: Gain insight into slicing software, covering topics such as infill patterns, layer height resolution, and more to optimize your 3D prints.

Hands-On Experience: By the conclusion of this workshop, participants will have acquired the knowledge to prepare and operate a variety of consumer and industrial FDM printers.

Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your prototyping skills and gain valuable experience in 3D printing. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today!

Note: Experience with 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is helpful but not required. We encourage participants to bring their own laptops for a more personalized experience. All necessary materials, resources, and software information will be provided upon registration.
