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.
