5-Day 3D Printing Workshop – Learn, Build & Start Your Business!
This 5-day hands-on workshop covers everything from 3D printing fundamentals to designing, slicing, and printing your own models. Perfect for beginners, designers, engineers, and hobbyists!
Workshop Schedule & Topics
Day 1: Introduction to 3D Printing & Industry Applications
What is 3D printing? How does it work? Understanding different types of 3D printers & technologies (FDM, SLA, SLS, etc.) Materials used in 3D printing (PLA, ABS, PETG, Resin, etc.) Industry applications: Prototyping, medical, automotive, architecture, and more Hands-on: Setting up a 3D printer & understanding its components
Day 2: 3D Design & Modeling with CAD Software
Introduction to 3D modeling software (Tinkercad, Fusion 360, Blender, etc.) Creating basic 3D models & modifying existing designs Understanding design constraints for 3D printing Hands-on: Designing a simple object for printing
Day 3: Slicing & Preparing Files for Printing
What is slicing software? (Cura, PrusaSlicer, Simplify3D) Understanding print settings (layer height, infill, supports, speed, etc.) Optimizing designs for better print quality & strength Hands-on: Slicing a 3D model and generating G-code
Day 4: 3D Printing Process & Troubleshooting
Loading filament & setting up the printer Understanding print failures & how to fix them (layer shifts, warping, stringing) Post-processing techniques: sanding, painting, assembling Hands-on: Printing your first 3D model
Day 5: Advanced 3D Printing Techniques & Final Project
Multi-material & dual-extrusion printing Using supports & rafts effectively Introduction to resin printing & advanced finishing techniques Hands-on: Printing & presenting a custom-designed project Q&A and Future Learning Resources
Outcome of the Workshop:
By the end of 5 days, you will be able to design, slice, print, and troubleshoot 3D prints, unlocking endless possibilities for innovation & creativity!
