- Creating clean 3D printable models
- Methods to keep costs down
Printing Infromation...
This session covers the different materials you can print with and how to access these services:
- Using different materials: plastics, resin, glass, ceramics, metals etc
- How to access and find 3D Print services
- Issues to take into account re shrinkage, support material, strength
Sell Profitably...
Where to get 3D printing prices, some places to market and sell your creations online

A 3 day Anarkik 3D Design course:
After her 3 day course in July 2012 and for whom Cloud9 and digital 3D modelling was completely new, Masako emailed:
‘Oh what a wonderful time I had, trying out Cloud 9 / Falcon!’
Birgit and Hiltje
Her group was 4 jewellery designers, Suzanne, Birgit and Hiltje from Holland, and Masako from London. They signed up for an intensive course on digital 3D concept generation /3D modelling and 3D printing, tailored to their needs and level of expertise: none of the 4 had used CAD (computer aided design) or 3D modelling software before. Such was the four’s enthusiasm that the 3 days spilt over into a 4th particularly as Birgit, who already has her own Cloud9 3D modelling system, wanted to set up an account with a 3D printing service and upload one of her designs to have it 3D printed.
You can see their models here. or use this link: http://pinterest.com/anarkik3d/july-2012-workshop/
The courses are held in a delightful residential part of Edinburgh in Anarkik3D’s office with a maximum of 5 people per course for maximum attention to hit the ground running with 3D digital modelling and knowledge of 3D printing!
The day starts with brief introductions and a presentation to give context. Then it’s straight into hands-on with Cloud9, getting to grips to discover how easy it is to learn and use for 3D modelling. The Falcon haptic device not only enables objects to be touched and felt 3 dimensionally, the grasp moves through x,y,z axes to make navigating the 3D virtual environment more coherent. A tutorial is used as it covers all the functions and is a useful reference during the course and afterwards for those with their own Cloud9 set-up or purchasing one.
3D printing, and modelling for this, is covered at different levels depending on the course chosen. Cloud9 is used as a practical means to understand constraints and application. We have a range of 3D printed samples and examples from different systems and in different materials to handle and examine as the basis for discussing the potential of Cloud9 and 3D printing for expanding business and practice.
Ann Marie Shillito, Anarkik3D’s founder and director takes the courses. She has extensive experience teaching and as a designer maker using Cloud9 and 3D printing for her own work. The courses are intensive and she makes sure they are also practical, fitting and fun.

Course FAQs
1. What is an Anarkik 3D Design course like?
‘Oh what a wonderful time I had, trying out Cloud 9 / Falcon!’ - emailed Masako, after her 3 day course in July 2012 and for whom Cloud9 and digital 3D modelling was completely new.
Masako was one of 4 jewellery designers, Suzanne, Birgit and Hiltje from Holland - and Masako from London, on intensive course to learn Anarkik 3D Design package (Cloud9/Falcon haptic device).
As novices at 3D modelling the course was tailored to their needs and level of expertise asnone of the 4 had used CAD (computer aided design) or 3D modelling software before. They were interested in 3D modelling for concept generation and for 3D printing.
The day starts with brief introductions and a presentation to give context. Then its straight into hands-on with Cloud9 and using the Falcon, getting to grips with 3D modelling. The Falcon haptic device not only enables objects to be touched and felt 3 dimensionally, the grasp moves through x,y,z axes to make navigating the 3D virtual environment more coherent. A tutorial is used and is a useful reference during the course and afterwards for those with their own Cloud9 set-up or purchasing one.
The concept and principles of 3D printing, and modelling for 3D printing, are covered at different levels depending on the course chosen. Cloud9 is used as a practical means to understand the constraints of 3D printing and its application. There is a range of 3D printed samples and examples from different systems and in different materials to handle and examine as the basis for discussing the potential of Cloud9 and 3D printing for expanding business and practice.
The 3D course in July last year was extended into a 4th day for Birgit, who already has her own Cloud9 3D modelling system, to set up an account with a 3D printing service and uploaded one of her designs to have it 3D printed.
2. Where are the Anarkik 3D Design Courses held?
The courses are held in a delightful residential part of Edinburgh in Anarkik3D’s office with a maximum of 5 people per course for maximum attention to hit the ground running with 3D digital modelling and knowledge of 3D printing!
Edinburgh is a beautiful city and a great tourist attraction, with plenty B&B's and an economy TravelLodge in walking distance of Anarkik3D’s office and an easy bus ride into Edinburgh's historic High Street.
3. Who takes the Anarkik 3D Design Courses?
Ann Marie Shillito, Anarkik3D’s founder and director takes the courses. She has extensive experience teaching and as a designer maker uses Cloud9 and 3D printing for her own work. The courses are intensive and she makes sure they are also practical, fitting and fun. Her expertise includes:
- as a designer maker: many years running her practice, designing, making and selling contemporary jewellery
- designing for and using processes for limited production
- using (and struggling with) CAD for 12 years
- using laser cutting: titanium and niobium (1990)
- using 3D printing: ABS, resin (stereolithography), paper (LOM), starches, alumide etc (1998)
- teaching at degree level (part-time) until moving into research.
- practice based research: how best to access digital technologies leading to 3.5 years AHRC funded research project with academic colleagues, investigating haptic based software for designer makers.
- developing commercial haptic based software product for 3D sketch/modelling for designer makers
- designing with Anarkik 3D Design package (Cloud9 software/Falcon haptic device) for 3D printing.
This broad base of knowledge and expertise enables Ann Marie Shillito to customise courses to maximise value for those attending. She was commissioned to write a book about how designer makers use digital technologies which will be published later this year.
On the CAD side Anarkik3D have a colleague who can briefly introduce Rhino (he has taught basic Rhino at the London School of Fashion and continues with a summer school course) and is also very knowledgeable regarding 3D printing.
4. What the safety requirements for using a haptic device?
The Falcon is manufactured in the US and is designed for use with video games. It have been thoroughly tested for safety and robustness, especially by gamers.
With 3D modelling there is the occasional situation where the cursor gets between 2 hapticated surfaces which provide a bit of vigorous force feedback. In Anarkik 3D Design, holding down the Esc key switches off haptics to 'escape' through one of the surfaces. Kids love the sensation of force feedback!
Anarkik3D Ltd has Public Liability Insurance and all equipment including the coffee maker is PAT tested.
