Our half day, 2-hour intermediate 3D printing workshop will allow participants to explore the applications of 3D modeling and 3D printing for prototyping and advanced manufacturing.

Participants will learn how to create a 3D bust scan and create additional 3D accessories for their model. In addition, campers will learn to master 3D printing from the mechanical structure and parts to the design, file preparation, and interface. Enhance your knowledge of professional 3D printing through SLA (Stereolithography).

Topics to be covered: 3D scanning, mesh mixing, and SLA 3D printing.

Recommended for ages 12+
