Description of the Course
This 4-day course introduces the principles and real-world applications of 3D printing. It is ideal for those who want to explore additive manufacturing through hands-on experience and guided training.
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is a transformative technology enabling rapid prototyping, custom part production, and small-batch manufacturing. This course delves into the most widely used technologies—FDM and SLA—and showcases applications in engineering, medicine, and design. Participants will examine practical cases such as customized enclosures for electronics, biomedical models, and spare industrial parts.
Participants will learn the complete 3D printing pipeline: designing models using CAD software, slicing models for printer preparation, and hands-on operation of FDM and SLA printers. Key topics include printer setup, filament and resin selection, troubleshooting print errors, safety considerations, and post-processing techniques. Attendees will get to print their own models, optimize settings, and explore material properties and structural design for printability and durability.
Tentative Agenda:
Day 1: Introduction, 3D printing technologies, industry use cases, printer demo
Day 2: CAD basics, slicing software, design exercises
Day 3: Materials, calibration, printing, troubleshooting
Day 4: Post-processing, print testing, final showcase
After four days, participants will walk away with their own 3D-printed parts, a solid understanding of how to operate desktop 3D printers, and confidence to prototype, test, and iterate using additive manufacturing in real-world settings.
