3D Modeling and 3D Printing Workshop¶
| Path | Target | Duration | Skills |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery | 18-25 | 1 day | Digital Design, additive manufacturing, parametric design |
OBJECTIVES¶
This workshop aims at introducing beginners to 3D modeling and 3D printing. The aim is empower digital prototyping skills of textile or fashion designers or artisans.
-
Learning Outcomes:
-
Understand how 3D modeling and parametric design can help the design and fabrication process
- Get better orientation and experience 3D environment using prepared examples
- Prepare your own files for 3D printing
- Learn to use a 3D printers and set up 3D printing properties
Target audience and contexts of use
Students with an interest in textiles, art school teachers. If participants don't have basic knowledge of the 3D software or no experience with 3D printers.

PROCESS¶
* The workshops was divided into 3 parts: * RHINO basics > through interactive examples (you will find them below) to understand the 3D modeling environment * Grasshopper basics > mostly an explanation of GH possibilities and prepared scripts defined according to the requests of the participants * 3D printing > preparing and slicing files, set up of the 3D printer
