3D program for select few

A four-day intensive 3D Design and Printing Course will be made available to eight participants.

The four-day program will introduce participants to the concepts needed to design, model and manufacture simple objects from idea to print.

“The design stage is crucial in 3D printing as 3D printers create an object layer by layer, or slice by slice. Understanding this process can help save the designer time and money,” Noosa Library spokeswoman Tracey King said.

The course will explore some of the applications for 3D printing technology, including robotics, rapid prototyping, life sciences, construction and more.

Computer scientist and embedded systems engineer with over 20 years’ experience in the industry, Malte von Ruden, will lead the course.

This 3D program is open to adults with a strong interest in inventing or who are new to this type of technology, but would benefit from gaining skills in this area, such as builders, inventers and craftspeople or those with engineering talents who want to venture into the digital space.
