About the workshop
In this introductory-level, hands-on workshop, participants will be introduced to the basics of 3D printing, and will have the opportunity to model and print a simple object with a 3D printer. Workshop topics include:
- What is 3D printing?
- What can you make with a 3D printer?
- Overview of different 3D printing technologies
- Designing with 3D modeling and scanning
- Creating watertight 3D designs
- Repairing 3D files
- Exporting 3D files
This workshop is supported by a grant from the Ohio Arts Council. Space for the workshop is being donated in-kind by the Ohio State University Department of Art.
Required
No previous experience with 3D printing or 3D computer modeling is required.
