Course Information
Introduction
Throughout the course you’ll gain knowledge about the requirements for creating 3D content in different systems on the market and their specific design requirements for production. You will overview of the history of 3D printing and current and upcoming trends.
You will create 3D models suitable for 3D printing and understand the requirements (tolerances, properties of real-world objects) of different machines in use. You will be required to produce your own creation on either one or two different 3D printers.
Platforms
- SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)
- Z Corp 3D printing
- Envisiontec 3D printing
- Makerbot 3D printers
