3D Printing I

3D Printing is a method of creation that requires some computer skills. This class will allow students to understand the potential and limitations of 3D Printing through a build intensive design project. This course will include prototyping new concepts, troubleshooting potential errors while 3D printing, creating a piece of art, customizing existing designs to adapt to changing needs.

Students will gain a working knowledge of multiple pieces of software currently being used widely in multiple industrial settings. The course will also include extensive training and use of free programs and websites for prototyping, slicing, and scanning used throughout the 3D Printing field.

The understanding of 3D Scanning and Photogrammetry will be conveyed to students allowing for reproduction of existing models.

Note: To successfully engage and complete a 3D printing training course, student should possess some basic computer literacy and a basic understanding of graphic design is preferred

Course Hours: 80 Clock Hours

Prerequisite: Graphic Design and/or Digital Media
