Hello everyone! I'm running an introductory session on 3D printing this Wednesday at /usr/lib if anyone's interested in coming to check it out. I'll be covering: - What you can make - What materials you can use - Basic cost expectations of using online services such as Shapeways, Ponoko - What software is available to use - A quick demo on how easy it is to start making basic geometry in Blender. - A lengthy Q&A at the end can be opened up, I can hang around for quite a while afterwards

3D PRINTING - HECK YES. Susan Hinton 2012
SO, WHAT IS 3D PRINTING?
WIKIPEDIA SEZ... 3D printingis a form ofadditive manufacturingtechnology where athree dimensionalobject is created by laying down successive layers of material. - Wikipedia
OR... It's like bringing an inkjet printer into the third dimension! - Susan Hinton
A QUICK DEMO
WHAT SORT OF MATERIALS ARE WE TALKING?
MATERIALS AVAILABLE Virtually any colour plastic Ceramic Stainless steel Allumide Titanium Wax casts (for silver parts) Full colour sandstone Glass
WHAT CAN I MAKE?
JEWELLERY
CUSTOM TOYS
SPARE PARTS
IMPLANTS/PROSTHETICS
MUGS
WHY IS 3D PRINTING BETTER?
3D PRINTING: Adds rather than subtracts material to create the object Any waste is easily reused in next print run Print an object with moving parts all in one piece Fast way to test a design ITS FRAKKING COOL!
SO, I WANT TO PRINT SOMETHING. Where do I start?
YOU WILL NEED... a computer 3D modelling software eg. CAD, Blender, Z-Brush A 3D printer or THE INTERNET Some pocket money Enthusiasm for learning by trial and error
WHATS THE PROCESS?
STEP 1: Create your cool idea in 3D modelling software
STEP 2: Upload the model 鍖le to a 3D printing service online
STEP 3: Choose your material and place your order
STEP 4: Wait for it to arrive!
THE PROCESS: 1) Create some cool stuff in 3D modelling software 2) Upload the model 鍖le to a 3D printing service online 3) Choose your material and order 4) Wait for it to arrive! 5) ??? 6) Pro鍖t
OKAY, WHO CAN PRINT MY STUFF FOR ME?
3D PRINTING SERVICES Shapeways (my favourite) http://shapeways.com iMaterialise http://i.materialise.com Ponoko http://ponoko.com
WAIT A SECOND, WHATS ALL THIS GONNA COST ME?
EXAMPLE COSTS Plastic starts at $1.40 per cm cubed Stainless steel starts at $8.00 per cm cubed Glass starts at $6.00 per cm cubed most materials have a modest handling fee
AND WHERE DO I FIND FREE SOFTWARE TO GET STARTED?
FREE 3D MODELLING WAREZ Blender (I use this) http://blender.org AutoDesk 123D http://www.123dapp.com/ TinkerCAD http://tinkercad.com/ (browser based) Google SketchUp http://sketchup.google.com/
BLENDER ADVENTURES!
WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW? Its free! Blender can be a little tricky to learn at 鍖rst You totally need a mouse (a trackpad will make you suicidal) Blender supports svg imports, can export to stl format There is good documentation and youtube tutes online
MOST COMMON TOOLS YOU WILL USE IN BLENDER Scale - sizing of objects and polygons Extrude - give that mofo some depth, yo Boolean modi鍖er - drill holes and scoop out areas Loop cut and subdivide - make some new detail to work with
WATCH AND LEARN, GRASSHOPPER
NOW, GO PRINT SOME EPICNESS!
QUESTIONS..?
