Course Overview
3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process, an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object.
3D printing is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing which is cutting out / hollowing out a piece of metal or plastic with, for instance, a milling machine. 3D printing enables you to produce complex shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods.
The participant will gain an understanding of how 3D printers in terms of how it works, capabilities and limitations. After going through the workshop, participants will be able to operate the 3D printer to print models for prototyping.
Participants who meet at least 75% of the required course attendance and attempt the assessment will be awarded the Certificate of Performance.
