Basic 3D Printing

Just bought a 3D printer and no idea where to begin? This is the simple two-hour introduction that takes you from a boxed-up machine to running your own prints with confidence. No experience needed.

You’ll learn how the printer actually works, how to use the slicing software that turns a design into a print, and how to take a model from the internet all the way to a finished object in your hand, hands-on, on our printers at the studio.

How the session flows

  1. anatomy Know your printer What the nozzle and heated parts do, how the printer moves, and how it builds an object layer by layer.
  2. software Slicing, made simple How slicing turns a 3D model into instructions the printer follows, and how to drive the slicing software yourself.
  3. hands-on Download, slice, print Find a model online, slice it, and run your first print, making sure it comes out clean from start to finish.
  4. take home The model you printed

You leave with the model you printed, plus the confidence to run your own printer from setup to finished print.
