Intro To 3D Printing Class in Portland, Maine

$100 class fee ($75 for Factory 3 members)
5 STUDENTS max per class

This 3-hour class will teach how 3D printers work, and design techniques to ensure successful prints. We will also cover material selection and handling, print setup, post-processing, and design for manufacture. Students will learn how to design parts in CAD software, prepare for printing using 3D “slicer” software, and then print the parts on Factory 3’s printers. No technical background is required. Students may choose to follow along with software demonstrations on their own computer.
