You’re invited to join us for a 6 week 3D modeling and 3D printing workshop every Tuesday 5-6PM at Forge Makerspace.
Students will learn 3D modeling software TinkerCAD and Fusion360 over the first 3 weeks and spend the last 3 weeks designing and printing 3D printed parts.
Each participant will leave with a strong understanding of 3D modeling (CAD) and how to design a robust 3D printed part. When doing projects, CAD is paramount to a successful build.
Sign up and more details below!
