This workshop will delve into the overall process of making three-dimensional solid objects from digital designs and explore the various powders, binders and support materials that allow for the geometric flexibility inherent to additive manufacturing. We’ll also examine the course of moving from original concept via virtual blueprint (CAD or animation modeling software) to finished product along with all the pre-preparation and post processing steps required to make a quality printed piece.

“Thanks to 3D printing, pieces are really quickly available, which means we can test them within a few days, and make changes reactively.”

“3D Printing is an obvious solution for a start-up, especially if you follow the lean start-up approach. It allows you to cut time and resources on prototyping, thus to achieve a minimum viable product in no time.”

● Unlike CNC machining which is a subtractive process, 3D Printing or Additive Manufacturing is an additive process.

● Layers of material are laid down or built upon, layer by layer to build the object.
