Charles River Collaboratory public workshop: Basics of 3D printing

Please note the 3D printing workshop on January 17 is full. You can still register to be put on a waiting list.

Ever wonder what 3D printing is and how a 3D printer works? Led by the Charles River Collaboratory youth leaders, this session demystifies “additive manufacturing” by giving participants direct access to the Collaboratory’s 3D printer bank. You will learn how to search for files, what “slicer” software is and how to use it, and understand the basic settings of a slicer to print a file. You will also learn about the type of materials that are used in 3D printers and how to transfer your file from a computer to a 3D printer This session should last around 90 minutes.

Register (required).
