3D Printing on the PolyPrinter

3D PRINTING HAS BECOME THE MODERN WAY TO CREATE, prototype, and prepare your parts before moving them onto mass manufacturing processes. From a 3D computer model, real objects are fabricated in a number of methods.In this two hour class, you will learn how to import, prepare and print your three-dimensional parts using the PolyPrinter 229 3D printer. Pre-Requisites None You will learn * The theory of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing * The various parts of the PolyPrinter 229 printer * How to safely set up and check the operation of the PolyPrinter 229 printer * How to set up Slicer for use with the 3D printer  * The correct 3D mesh files ( .OBJ, .STL ) for printing, and what resolution you need * How to download files from Thingiverse for printing * When to use special features to print such as rafts, brims, skirts, support material * How much infill to use, when, and why * What materials you can use to print on the PolyPrinter 229, and which must be avoided You will need to bring A pad of paper to take notes Your laptop ( Windows, Linux, or Mac ) Class Duration One day, 2 hour course Class Size 5 students
