3D Printing and Modeling — Beginner (Weekly)

About This Class

In this weekly 3D Printing & Modelling (3DPM) course, students will dive deeper into the world of digital fabrication. Over 10 hours of guided sessions, they'll learn to design with intention, model with precision, and bring their creations to life using 3D printers. Each week builds on the last, blending hands-on modelling challenges with design thinking principles. By the end of the course, students will not only walk away with their own printed creations, but also a strong foundation in digital making and creative problem-solving.
