Learn to Print 3D @ Hive 76 in May

April 20, 2011 in Art,Philadelphia with 0 Comments

Out pals over at Hive 76 are offering up another 3D printing course in May, teaching us common 2D folks the way of the third dimension.

Visitors will learn how to print in 3D, using a program called SketchUp. The kind folks at the hackerspace will show you how to make simple stuff with the program, the basic process of FDM 3D printing, and the limitations of the Makerbot and RepRap machines.

The May 1st (Sunday) event runs 10am to 3pm, and tickets are only $25. Not only will you learn how to use all this cool stuff, but you’ll get to print and take home whatever it is you decide to create.

Our own Andrew Hill went to one of these classes and had a blast. Read about his experience, and go buy a ticket.
