FAQ's about the course:

What do I learn in 3D Printing 101?

The workshop includes everything you need to know to get started in the world of FDM 3D printing and its applications. From a purchase advice to how to use the necessary software and a 3D printer. There are also chapters on materials, troubleshooting and 3D scanning waiting for you. All necessary hardware and software for 3D printing will be presented step by step and explained by printing examples (free of charge).

What do I need for the 3D printing course and how long does it take?

The workshop has a total duration of about 80 minutes (divided into several individual lessons). Of course, you are free to choose which chapters you want to watch at what time and you can also pause at any time. Ideally, you will need your own 3D printer for the workshop. A purchase advice is included in the workshop. If you do not want to buy one, alternatives are also shown (external providers). You could also use a Makerspace´s 3D Printer nearby. In this case you will also benefit from the content of this course.

How much does a 3D printer cost?

High quality 3D printers for home use are available starting at around $ 500. So 3D printing does not have to be expensive. The general price range for FDM 3D printers is approximately $ 400 - 5000.

Is the tutorial only for 3D printing beginners?

This course is generally designed for anyone interested in 3D printing or in general technology. No matter whether only for information purposes about the technology or for the application and implementation of own models. All processes are explained in detail and are presented in a way that is easy to understand. This course is also ideal for inventors, engineers, architects, artists, students, teenagers, etc.

Who will show me the 3D printing basics in this course?

The 3D printing course is taught by an engineer and experienced user in the field of 3D printing.

Is learning to 3D print difficult?

3D printing is certainly a complex subject, as the use of software and hardware must be learned. Without help, you can lose track of what's important to achieve good results. However, with this 3D printing tutorial you have all the information at your fingertips and thus always have a clear view.

Do I also learn to design my own objects?

The topic of CAD designing will be addressed very shortly in this workshop. This means that design software is presented. The process of designing itself, on the other hand, is not taught, as this would go beyond the scope of the workshop.

What can I do with a 3D printer anyway?

You have the possibility to download and print numerous (100.000+) great objects from so-called content platforms for free. A lot of useuful and functional items for your household, toys for kids, gifts for friends and other spectacular things. As a first inspiration you are welcome to watch the trailer of the workshop.

As you can see, 3D Printing is a somewhat sophisticated technology.
