What you will learn

Part 1 Introduction to 3D Printing  (9:30AM- 10:15AM, Rm 209 Engineering Building)

What is 3D printing? What is all the hype about? How does 3D printing work? What can you print now and what will you be able to print in the future? How to access CSEM’s 3D printers? See a 3D printer in use and see, touch, and feel some 3D printed objects.

 

Part 2 Hands on 3D Printing  (10:30AM- 11:30AM, Rm 357 Engineering Building)

 

Learn how to use Makerware, the software used to “slice” your digital model ready for printing on the Makerbot printers. Learn the limitations of the Makerbot printers and what all the “slicing” options mean. Attendees will also have the opportunity to print their own models.
