Advanced 3D Printing and Material Calibration
About This Course
A comprehensive course on 3-Dimensional (3D) printing, designed for participants aiming to optimise Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printing through the introduction of fundamental calibration test and techniques.
Ideal for professionals in additive manufacturing, architecture, product design, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, and creative technology, this course combines practical exercises with essential theory. Participants will engage in hands-on calibration activities including temperature, speed, and flow rate tests, will exploring various 3D printing infills and their applications.
By the end of the course, participants will acquire the expertise to improve print quality and adapt the 3D printing process to meet diverse project requirements.
What You'll Learn
1. Run fundamental calibration test to better understand the printer and material
2. Identify limitations of both printer and commonly available materials
3. Locate and adjust setting according to project and printing requirements
4. Develop confidence in printer setting adjustment, material use and application on common use cases
Entry Requirements
Participants should be able to read, speak and write English.
