What will happen in your session?
We'll give you a crash course in 3D Printing. What they are, the variety of printing methods, filaments and software available. Shock you with what is possible and even give a hands-on creating something from scratch and printing it. You'll learn some of the common pitfalls we all encounter, how we overcome them and see how it's been used to change people's lives.
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
- To break down what is a 3D printer
- How to create something in AutoCAD Fusion 360 / TinkerCAD
- Live demonstration with a 3D Printer (have my own)
- Common problems you'll encounter
- How this new technology has been applied to change peoples lives for the better
If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.
Power. I'll bring my own 3D Printer but if there's an extra one available that'd be a bonus. Mic & presentation facilities.
