3D Printing Crash Course

Curious about 3D printing but not sure where to start? This hands-on crash course is designed for adults (16+) who want a practical, no-fluff introduction to 3D design and real-world 3D printing. Whether you’re exploring a new hobby, building a product idea, or considering buying your own printer, this session gives you the full picture - fast.

Please note: Participants should bring their own laptop, mouse, and charger. All 3D printing equipment and materials are provided.

What To Expect:

In this guided workshop, you’ll learn how to turn ideas into print-ready models using AI tools and Fusion 360, then take them all the way through to physical objects using professional-grade 3D printers.

You’ll explore:

• How digital designs become physical parts
• How to choose the right materials for different use cases
• How modern printers work - from setup to daily operation

No prior experience is required. This course is built for complete beginners and practical learners alike.

Every participant will leave with a finished 3D-printed object and the confidence to continue creating beyond the class.
