Have an idea for something you'd like to make? Our 3D Printing Workshop takes you from a sketch to a finished product you can hold. You'll learn to design in 3D modeling software, set up a print, and run our printers, then test what comes off the bed and make it better.
You'll learn about 3D printing basics like different kinds of printers and filament. We'll also cover some technical topics like CAD (computer-aided design), slicers, and G-code, along with some of the pros and cons of popular printer models and brands.
These workshops will be geared toward adults and high school students. In some classes, parents will be welcome to come with their kids and work side by side with them. No experience is needed. Come with a project in mind, or start with one of ours.
Kim Kedem teaches it. She's a designer and fabricator who builds and programs her own 3D printers for ceramics, and she runs MixingBowl Studio in Beacon.
Here's the plan so far: two holiday decoration classes, where you'll design and print ornaments and decorations to keep or give as gifts, then a series of classes in early spring. The schedule isn't final yet, so reach out for dates, times, and prices, and we'll keep you posted.
