INTRODUCTION TO 3D PRINTING

Course Description

This class will uncover the core processes 3D printing and break down the process to make it as simplified as possible. You will be taught the implications of 3D printing for the future of design and manufacturing, and be prepared for in those fields. Along with practical 3D printing experience, you will be taught how to use a critical eye to understand the technology’s advantages and limitations.

Lecturers

Ken Planchett, Associate Professor

Anne-Marie McPhee, Teaching Assistant
