3D Design & Production
Course Code: ADS11Q3D

This is a fun, hands-on course where students learn how to design and create 3D models and turn them into real objects using 3D printers.

  • Learn how to create printable files and operate 3D printers.
  • Use easy-to-learn design software and explore more advanced tools.
  • Practice preparing files, adjusting settings, and working with various materials.
  • Discover how 3D modeling is used in industries like video games, movies, and product design.
  • Finish the course by designing and printing your own project, gaining both creative and technical skills.
Process 1- 3D Design
Step 1: 3D Design (3D Application) We start by bringing ideas to life using 3D software. Students learn the fundamentals of 3D modeling with various 3D applications.
Process 3 - Bring 3D Design to Slicer for 3D printing
Step 2: Slicing (Cura) Next, the 3D model is imported into a slicer program like Cura. Here, we prepare the model for printing by choosing settings like layer height, infill, and supports. The slicer then converts the model into G-code instructions for the printer.
Process 3. Print
Step 3: Final Print Finally, the G-code is sent to the 3D printer. The printer follows the instructions layer by layer, extruding filament to build the physical object from the ground up, turning a digital design into a tangible creation.
