This demo night will give an introduction to how 3D printing works and give participants the basic skills needed to borrow the 3D printer from the library.
We will cover the following topics:
● An overview of different additive manufacturing technologies, filament types, FDM printer types
● Different ways to getting a 3D model (creating it from scratch, as well as sources for free models available online)
● Preparing a file for printing
● Basics for printer troubleshooting & maintenance
Some references will also be passed along to assist in further research into:
● 3D modelling software options
● Top 3D printers in different price ranges
● Sources for raw material (filament)
The topics above will be followed by a Q&A session to go through anything that hasn’t been covered
