Who is this course for?

The Artist- Some artists are taking full advantage of this technology. From fashion designers to jewelry makers, 3D printing can help express your creative nature and bring it into a new medium. Creative agencies are also incorporating the technology into their marketing campaigns with anything from swag giveaways to unique trophies.

The Educator- 3D printers are teaching machines with unparalleled power. If a picture says a thousand words, than holding a 3D printed object in your hand and examining it from all angles is worth a million. With the increased focus on STE(A)M in schools, 3d printing is being used as a tool to efficiently teach every subject in the most hands on way.

The Entrepreneur- 3D printing is predicted to be a $21 Billion-dollar market by 2020. Impacting the medical, automotive, architecture, aerospace and consumer markets. Every entrepreneur knows the potential that this disruptive technology has regardless of their background. We will explore how current businesses are using this technology and go over various business models you can use yourself.

The Hobbyist & The Professional- Eventually a 3D printer WILL be in every home.They will not all be plastic melting types but some sort of additive manufacturing device that will do something as simple as make you pancakes or complex as dispense your medicine. Get ahead of the curve and learn why 3D printing is such a big deal regardless of who you are.

What will you learn?

Basic 3D Modeling-

  • You will learn how to use a 3D modeling program called Tinkercad. Tinkercad is a free, online, cloud based application that has an extremely friendly and intuitive interface.

Basic 3D Printing-

  • Even with no prior 3D printing experience, the first thing you will do is design a 3D model and send it to the machines to be made while the class continues with the other topics.

    Reviewed by Peter W. on 2/27/2019
    Very basic introduction to 3d printing for those who have no prior knowledge or experience. Ample resource material is provided via internet for at home reading, and a basic 3d modeling program is demonstrated with hands on use by the class. I was disappointed, however, that a large hands on portion of the class didn't quite work out... the 3d printer provided for demonstration purposes was never able to work... and that was the main point for my being there.
