3D Printing Summer Camp for Kids
Learn the basics of 3D Modeling to create real objects using your 3D Printer
- Design your own 3D models in TinkerCAD
- Master proper "slicing" software settings for best print results
- Effectively level the print bed
- Set up the printer for proper first layer adhesion
- Use "slicing" software for 3D printing at a basic level
- Find free ready-made files to download and print yourselves
- Get recommendations on which printer and "slicing" software to start with
Course Description
‘In this 3D printing course, we’ll go through the foundations of 3D printing. This course is intended for beginners who want to learn how a 3D printer works and how to get from a blank 3D design canvas to a finished physical print.
This course’s goal is to help you develop your design skills by guiding you through a series of enjoyable 3D printed projects. We start with some simple designs before moving on to more advanced modelling approaches.
You’ll have an arsenal of new tools and approaches to help you tackle your next bright idea by the end of the course.
