UC 3D Printing: Beginning & Intermediate

In this hands-on class, students will learn the basics of 3D design and 3D printing while creating their own custom models. Using beginner-friendly design software, students will turn their ideas into digital designs that are brought to life with a 3D printer. By the end of the class, each student will complete several projects they can take home and share.

In this fun and creative class, students will explore the exciting world of 3D design and 3D printing. Using easy-to-learn design software, students will learn how to create digital 3D models and prepare them for printing.

Throughout the course, students will learn basic design concepts such as shapes, scaling, and combining objects to build more complex creations. They will design their own custom items, experiment with different ideas, and see how their digital designs are transformed into real objects using a 3D printer.
