Make It Fit: Designing Inter-Connecting Parts for 3D Printing and Laser Cutting
In this workshop, you will learn digital design techniques for producing inter-connected parts. How can that 3-D printed part interface with your lab equipment or with another 3-D printed part? How can lasercut pieces be put together to form a 3-D object? In these situations, it is a challenge to get a strong, solid connection with minimal gaps between pieces. With the help of this workshop, you will learn about best practices in digital design to achieve success! This is a hands-on workshop, and you should have some familiarity with using design software such as Autodesk Fusion 360 and Adobe Illustrator.
By the end of this workshop, you will be ready to design your own inter-connected parts!
Reserve your spot in this workshop through BeAM’s Coworks app.
