(coffee, tea, bicky break included)
Lunch (and the opportunity to handle 3D printed models and discuss the mornings progress as a group)
Hands on session: continue working through the tutorial
Final session day 1: designing for 3D printing
- the principles of 3D printing
- creating robust models and methods to keep costs down
- saving your files in the right format and scale
- acquiring other models to manipulate/customise (imported e.g. Rhino, freebies, paying for models)
- where and how to access 3D print services
- other likely issues and associated costs.
End day 1: brief overview of day 2 programme: designing for 3D printing
