Workshop: 3D modeling through to printing

If you want to print spare parts, you can't avoid the topic of 3D modeling.
In this course, you will get to know the 3D modeling software "SketchUp", draw some small sample projects and create the print templates with a slicer. You will learn more about the possibilities and limitations of 3D printing using sample prints and failures. In addition, various CAD software titles will be discussed, helpful tutorials recommended and model libraries introduced.
