In this jam-packed 2 day course, young aspiring inventors and engineers will learn what 3D printers are, how they operate, the basics of how to use CAD & control the printers, and, most importantly WHY 3D printers are useful and their place in the iterative design process.Įach participant will learn the basics of CAD (Fusion 360) and the software to control what the 3D printer does (CURA). When and how is 3D printing used for problem solving, prototyping, and testing as a Design Engineer?.What is the role of the 3D printer in Innovation?.We will be cramming loads of fun into the week and using my interactive design challenge method to answer the questions: On my five day course we would normally build a printer too but in just two days that’s asking a lot! The course will be structured all around a design challenge as one of the key concepts for my students to learn is WHY to use a 3D printer and WHAT to use it for. It’s a two day course that will run 11th & 12th AND 18th 19th of August, from 9am-5pm each day, and it’s all about 3D PRINTING FOR INNOVATION!! My 3D printing courses have been such a huge success, the kids absolutely love them so I’ve figured out a way to condense as much as possible into just 2 days!
