Designing and Handling 3D Data for Printing

This course will take participants through the basics of learning how to work with 3D data, either collected with 3D scanners or created using CAD, with usable output projects using 3D printing.  

• The first session will focus on working with 3D scan data to create printable results and will require participants to preinstall Autodesk Meshmixer.  

• In the second session, participants will get a brief introduction to Autodesk Inventor and some fundamental principles of drawing for 3D printing. This session will also cover the process of finalising the data for printing.  

Handling 3D data can be done in many different ways - these classes are introductory and offer examples of using one of many methodologies.  This is a beginner level workshop. No previous knowledge on the topic is required required/expected and the trainer will cover the basics of the method.
