This is a beginning course in 3D printing. Students will learn about the history of 3D printing, its uses and how it works. The many types of 3D printers and the wide range of materials that can be used for printing will be discussed. As part of the actual printing process, students will use 3D modeling software to access existing files of 3D models for printing 3D objects. Students will print objects and learn to decorate and modify them. Additional topics covered will include an introduction to high-tech 3D printing in space travel and other applications. No previous knowledge of 3D printing is needed to participate. Basic computer skills are required.
NOTE: Total cost to participate is $100 ($25 per session). Signed liability waiver required to participate.
