Location: Seattle Mini Maker Faire (at Seattle Center)
Date: Saturday June 2nd
Time: 2:35 PM to 3:35 PM
An brief introduction to 3d Printing and Design with a Makerbot and/or Rep(St)rap printer.
The workshop will encompass a brief history of open-source Rep(St)rap, printers, their capabilities, and possible future.
We'll quickly go over the steps it takes to design and print from a Rep(St)rap machine.
There will be an "experimental" part of the workshop where the class will collaboratively design a (small) printable object that we'll then
attempt to print out in on a 3d printer at the Maker Faire.
The whole design process from idea, to computer model, to physical object can take less than 1 to 2hrs for simple designs.
The instructor will guide the design process, operate the CAD
software, and then hand the design file over to another Makerbot printer operator.
Prerequisites: Attendees are strongly encouraged to visit
http://www.makerbot.com and http://www.thingiverse.com to gain some knowledge of printing capabilities and possible design ideas.
Due to time constraints we are limited to 15min to come up with a design, 15min to design it, 15min to get the design machine readable, and 15min to print.
After the workshop the collaboratively designed object will reside on Thiniverse for the world to enjoy.
Cheers,
Larry James
