Anyone can make almost ANYTHING with 3D printing, also called additive manufacturing, an exciting new, rapidly-advancing technology
About this Event

This 3-hour class will teach the basic principles behind additive manufacturing technologies and how to create parts using 3D printers. The class will cover the science and technology behind 3D printers as well as important design techniques necessary to ensure successful prints. We will also cover material selection and handling, print setup, post-processing, and design for manufacture (DFM). Students will learn how to design parts in CAD software and prepare these parts for printing in 3D slicer software. The printing process will be demonstrated on Factory 3’s printers. Students will be able to get hands-on experience through live demonstrations of the 3D print process. No technical background is required. Students may choose to follow along with software demonstrations on their own computer. This class will demonstrate tutorials in Fusion 360 and Ultimaker Cura.

About the instructor: Tomas Amadeo has bachelor and master’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Boston University, where he studied medical robotics and soft robotic technologies. He has worked as a design engineer for three years with two companies in the electronics and industrial sector. Tomas has also taught CAD and fundamentals of design for robotics teams in New Hampshire, and worked as a teaching assistant at Boston University for classes in medical robotics and engineering computation.
