DreamWorks Makerspace organised an Online Workshop series on “3D Printing Technology”
08-Jun-2020
DreamWorks Makerspace organised an Online Workshop series with the theme “3D Printing Technology”. There were two workshops under the theme, the first workshop of the series being “3D Modelling with Onshape”, which was held on 3rd June 2020. This mainly focused on getting students to learn the design tools with the help of a designing software, Onshape.
The workshop thrived in helping on design and model 3D structures with Onshape, built from the ground up to enable efficient design processes. It was a continuous 3 hour hands on workshop which started out with a basic introduction of the topic in a real time perspective after which the participants had to design a 3D model simultaneously during the session with the help of the instructor.
The second workshop titled “3D Printing for Beginners” was conducted on 4th June 2020, for those who wanted to explore 3D Printing from scratch. This workshop was purely based on the technology that is used by 3D printers and also introducing them to CURA software which is used in 3D printing technology.
The workshop helps one to uncover the concept of understanding the seamless CAD integration and the power of 3D printing for prototyping, thus, enabling one to come up with products which are faster and efficient. It was also a continuous 3 hour hands on workshop which began with an introduction, followed up with an overview of 3D Printing Technology and its design perspective in real time applications.
The entire Workshop series was a step forward in reshaping students into becoming Young Makers, who would further grow to become problem solvers helping the society. It not only gave an opportunity to help them learn but also understand the opportunities in the field of 3D Printing Technology. At the end, all the participants were provided with E-Certificates as an appreciation of them being a part of this venture, to learn, create and share.
