The Makery

For students 5th & up.

If you can think it, you can model it! Discover the ever evolving world  of 3D modeling and making. Participants will be introduced to a variety  of software tools for 3D modeling and then learn all about the machines,  materials, and hands-on techniques to make these models. One is not  enough? Learn how models can be reproduced in different 3D printing  materials, on various machines or casted through mold-making.

WHAT WE WILL DO

• Learn about the 3D modeling design process
• Experience multiple 3D modeling software platforms including TinkerCad (regular and blocks mode) and Fusion 360
• Produce models via 3D printing, CNC carving and laser cutting
• Practice hand finishing projects using sand paper, paint, stain, glue
• Experiment with hydrodipping for graphics transfer onto 3D printed items
• Study the art of mold making and create molds to make soap and chocolate!  

TOOLS & MACHINES WE WILL USE

• Tinkercad (regular and blocks coding)
• Fusion 360 and Fusion slicing software
• Cura 3D printing software
• Several types of 3D printers using PLA, Onyx and wood filament
• CNC Carving machine
• Laser cutter
• Vacuum former
• Wood shop tools as needed  

This class meets on Mondays for 10 weeks. Class runs from 9/23-12/16. No class on 9/30,10/14, 11/11.
