101 - Intro to 3D Printing

In this workshop we will guide you through the process of preparing 3D models for printing using Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF).​ After running through this session, you should have a better understanding of the various issues that influence printing success, print speed, strength, and surface quality. ​

This workshop follows a similar format with different content outcomes, our most recent is focused on cards to coincide with the Driven exhibition.
