3D Printing/Rapid Prototyping - Short Course

Throughout the course you will gain knowledge about the requirements creating 3D content for the different systems on the market and their specific design requirements for production.

You will gain an overview of the history of 3D printing and current and upcoming trends.

You will have the opportunity to develop a design of your choice for production on one of our Rapid-Prototyping machines. This will consist of one smaller first prototype and a larger final model. We can offer SLS (Selective Laser Sintering), Z Corp 3D printing, Envisiontec 3D printing and Makerbot 3D printers. We will also cover alternative approaches to content creation, such as 3D scanning.

We offer support for 3D Studio Max or Rhino in our CAD suite to develop your model for 3D printing. Please note that you can use a software of your own choice, however you will have to bring your own suitable laptop and this may affect the support we can offer.

This course is suitable for designers, artists, fashion professionals, freelance engineers, students, hobbyists, sculptors, model makers and entrepreneurs. Please note that this course will not teach 3D modelling software, but includes tips and tricks on how to prepare and optimize your files for 3D printing. Knowledge of the use of 3D modelling software is required.

The center will contact you once you have sent your information through the form.
