3D Printing and Modeling

3D Modeling and Printing Course: From Idea to Prototype

Course Approach

A complete hands-on process: Design → Prepare in Slicer → Print → Evaluate and Iterate.

Student Profile

Teens aged 15 to 18 interested in technology, design, art or engineering. No prior knowledge required.

Skills to Develop

Accessible 3D modeling with Tinkercad and professional parametric modeling with Fusion 360
Preparing files with slicing software (Cura or Creality Print)
Safe operation and calibration of the latest FDM 3D printers (Ender 3 V3 KE)
Diagnosing, analyzing common failures and troubleshooting printing issues

Class Structure and Formats

Regular Track

4 sessions of 4 hours each, held on 4 consecutive Saturdays (mornings or afternoons).

Intensive Track

5 sessions of 4 hours, Monday through Friday, with a closing day dedicated to the final project showcase.

Methodology

Built around constant hands-on challenges. Students continuously move between the computer lab and the fabrication lab (STEAM Lab) to physically validate their prototypes.

Final Project

Students work in teams to independently design a functional accessory (such as a stand with ergonomic considerations and documented iterations), presenting and justifying their technical decisions to their peers.

Enroll in the Academy

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Coming soon! We are expanding our digital frontiers into Artificial Intelligence.

We're designing two new AI courses built for young people. Just like with our 3D printing academy, the focus won't be purely theoretical or technical, but creative and practical: learning to conceptualize, use intelligent tools responsibly, and apply them to real problems and creative projects.

Reach out through our Contact page and we'll let you know as soon as enrollment opens, along with the exclusive curriculum.
