Learn the art and science of 3D printing through our hands-on workshops

Summer Camp: 3D Printing Exploration

SUMMER SPECIAL

9 Hours (6 Sessions of 1.5 Hrs each)

Students & Beginners

Interactive & Hands-on

Our Summer Camp edition of the 3D Printing course offers a more immersive experience. Over 6 extended sessions, students progress from understanding digital 3D models to operating printers, troubleshooting, and designing their own functional items. It's a perfect blend of technology, creativity, and practical problem-solving for curious minds during the summer break.

Learning Outcomes

Prepare, slice, and print 3D models using an FDM 3D printer.
Operate a 3D printer safely and responsibly.
Identify and resolve common 3D printing issues.
Design simple functional objects with correct measurements and tolerances.
Select appropriate materials, settings, and printers for intended use.
Explain the role of additive manufacturing in modern production.

Camp Syllabus

Session 1: Digital Models, Slicing, and Print Preparation (1.5 Hours)

Introduction to STL/3MF files, slicing fundamentals (temperature, speed, layer height), and G-code generation. Extended time for multiple test slices and starting initial prints.

Session 2: Printer Setup, First Layer & Build Plate Care (1.5 Hours)

Hands-on filament loading, build plate cleaning, manual and auto bed leveling, and Z-offset tuning. In-depth focus on mastering the perfect first layer.

Session 3: Materials, Filament Handling & Print Strength (1.5 Hours)

Exploring PLA, PETG, and specialty filaments. Understanding how infill and wall thickness impact strength. Hands-on experience with moisture-affected filament and storage solutions.

Session 4: Troubleshooting & Responsible 3D Printing (1.5 Hours)

Diagnosing nozzle clogs, warping, and extrusion issues. Practical maintenance exercises and learning how to minimize waste in the printing process.

Session 5: Designing Functional Objects & Model Sources (1.5 Hours)

Learning to take accurate measurements for household items. Understanding tolerances and designing with 3D printing constraints in mind.

Session 6: Context, Applications & Future of 3D Printing (1.5 Hours)

Comparing additive vs traditional manufacturing. Deep dive into various technologies (SLA/SLS) and guidance on choosing personal 3D printing equipment.
