Annotation

In this course students learn about the possibilities of using 3D printers to create three-dimensional objects. They will learn the path that leads from the idea, through the design of a digital model, prototyping to the final (usable) object.

During the course, students will work in several programs for designing digital models, try to work with various types of 3D printers and finally suggests, draws and prints the object of your choice.
