Throughout the course you'll gain knowledge about the requirements for creating 3D content in the different systems on the market and their specific design requirements for production.
You will also gain an overview of the history of 3D printing and current and upcoming trends.
In addition, you'll 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.
Topics covered on this course:
- Introduction to 3D printing technologies
- Overview of software used to create 3D models for 3D printing
- How to create valid 3D models for 3D printing and export options
- Overview of 3D scanning technologies
- 3D file fixing, verification and software
- Live hinges and other click fit
- Produce your own 3D model choosing from one of four technologies (Envisiontec Perfactory, Z corp, SLS, Makerbot)
Duration and start date: 10 weeks, September
