Introduction to 3D modelling

In this 10 hours workshop participants will learn how to use 3D modelling software in order to create their own small piece of furniture/ornament and how to personalize that design. They will also learn how to use the 3D printer. They will learn how to prepare a 3D model to laser cut. Participants will understand limitations of 3D printting and will learn about different settings.

Learning outcomes:

• Participant will understand what is digital fabrication and what is maker culture.
• Participant can enumerate main digital fabrication processes in Fab Lab, and what are they used for.
• Participants go through a whole digital fabrication engineering design cycle: research and define the problem, ideation, design, fabrication and reflection.
• Participant will understand how a work can be evaluated using a reflection.
• Participant will learn how to use a 3D modelling design software.
• Participant will learn how to prepare a 3D design file for 3D printer.
• Participant will learn how to prepare a 3D model for laser cutting.
• Participant will get acquainted with laser cutting.
   

  Prerequisites:

  None. Would be benefitial if participant have basics computer user skills. Also, if participant has participated in laser or vinyl cutting workshop

  Benefits of workshop:

  Digital fabrication is a set of versatile processes that help to develop multiple transversal skills: digital literacies, design thinking, problem solving, quick prototyping, communication skills... All those skills are very well considered for employers, specially those related with ICT.

  What will be fabricated:

  A small piece of furniture.
