Mastering 3D Printing LiveLessonsteaches the fundamentals of 3D printing, including how to design objects using free, open source 3D modeling software and use a consumer-grade desktop 3D printer to turn a 3D model into a physical object.In this video training, you learn how to master 3D printing and move from ideas to objects! Dave Seff starts with coverage of how 3D printers work and then shows how to create a 3D model (beginner and advanced lessons), slice (prepare for printing), and then print a 3D model. Seff also covers troubleshooting problems when they arise.About the InstructorDave Seffis, professionally, a UNIX/Linux engineer. Beyond that, he has studied electronics, computer design, computer programming, mechanical design, and machining in both school and via self-education. He prides himself on building his own tools and machinery for the purpose of fabrication and manufacturing. He has built many CNC (Computer Numeric Controlled) machines, including three desktop 3D printers of his own design.Skill LevelAll LevelsWhat You Will LearnA solid understanding of 3D printingHow to create and manipulate 3D computer graphics models using free open source software and how to prepare a computer model for printingHow to set up, configure, and operate a consumer-grade desktop 3D printerWho Should Take This CourseThose with a general interest in 3D printingIndustrial designers, sculptors, and anyone studying in arts/design/industrial innovation areasDIYers, members of hacker spaces and maker spaces, artists, engineers, and manufacturersCourse RequirementsBeginner level—general interestTable of ContentsIntroductionLesson 1: Introduction to 3D PrintingLearning objectives1.1 Understand 3D printing1.2 Understand plastic extrusion1.3 Understand digital light processing DLP resin1.4 Understand direct laser metal sinteringLesson 2: 3D Modeling with BlenderLearning objectives2.1 Install Blender2.2 Understand Blender basics2.3 Understand basic modeling with BlenderLesson 3: Intermediate Modeling with BlenderLearning objectives3.1 Understand more advanced Blender techniques—Part I3.2 Understand more advanced Blender techniques—Part IILesson 4: Slicing and DicingLearning objectives4.1 Understand slicing and different slicing applications4.2 Understand Gcode4.3 Understand slic3r parameters4.4 Understand Solar1 Slicer and Skeinforge4.5 Troubleshoot when things go wrongLesson 5: PrintingLearning objectives5.1 Understand types of consumer-grade printers5.2 Understand the Solar1 Mark I printer5.3 Understand why first impressions are everything (PLA versus ABS)5.4 Prep your machine5.5 Complete finishing touchesSummaryAbout LiveLessons Video TrainingLiveLessons Video Training series publishes hundreds of hands-on, expert-led video tutorials covering a wide selection of technology topics designed to teach you the skills you need to succeed.
