Join our 2-Day 3D Design & Printing Bootcamp at AIC, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Dwarka, Delhi and dive into the exciting world of 3D Modeling and 3D Printing!
Day 1: Introduction and Basics of 3D Design
Session 1: Introduction to 3D Design & Printing
- Overview of 3D Printing Technology
- History and applications in industries like healthcare, automotive, and consumer goods.
- Different types of 3D printers and materials (PLA, ABS, etc.).
- Concept → 3D Modeling → Slicing → Printing → Finishing.
- Hands-on Activity
- Design a simple keyring with a customised shape (like a heart, star, or circle).
- Add text or a logo to the keyring.
Session 2: Advanced Design Techniques
- Exploring Fusion 360 Features
- Constraints and dimensions for precision.
- Working with assemblies and joints.
- Practical Project
- Design a nameplate or logo with raised text and unique patterns.
- Optimize designs for 3D printing (e.g., ensuring no overhangs exceed 45°).
- Export designs in STL format.
- Introduction to slicing software (Ultimaker Cura, PrusaSlicer)
Day 2: Printing and Post-Processing
Session 3: Printing and Troubleshooting
- Setting Up the Printers
- Loading filament and bed levelling.
- Importing sliced files to the printer.
- Live Printing Demonstration
- Print participants’ keyrings and nameplates.
- Monitor print quality and discuss common issues (e.g., warping, stringing).
Session 4: Finishing and Creative Projects
- Post-Processing Techniques
- Sanding, painting, and assembling printed parts.
- Adding hooks or rings to keychains.
- Wrap-Up and Giveaway
- Showcase all participants’ designs in a mini-exhibition.
- Distribute 3D-printed keychains with the workshop logo or participants’ names as giveaways.
Key Takeaways for Participants
- Basics of Fusion 360 for 3D modeling.
- Hands-on experience with Ultimaker S3 and Prusa i3 printers.
- Customised 3D-printed designs to take home.
- Confidence in designing and printing independently.
- Certificate to each participant.
