Course Description
An introduction for designers and makers on how to create a model that can be 3D printed.
Suitable for all creative people whether a novice at 3D printing or not, this practical course is hands on with tutor guidance using the Anarkik 3D Design. This course enable you to get you working creatively from the start, it provides practical experience of Anarkik 3D Design and the advantages of touch and ease of using a '3D mouse’ to be creative. A library of objects will be used to get you modelling fast with information about what is printable and what not.
You will also see a Ultimaker2 personal 3D printer in action and gain a full understanding of the concept of 3D printing, 3D designing and 3D modelling using Anarkik 3D Design Haptic software.
Agenda
Introduction - A brief overview followed by swift run through in demonstration mode to show the interface, library of objects and main menu features. Plus a brief introduction to 3D printing.
-
Get get a feel for interacting/creating in a risk free 3D virtual environment and work through a structured tutorial.
-
Try out out all the functions through structured playing and exploring, with individual assistance.
-
Handle 3D printed models and discuss the morning’s progress
-
Receive information about where to get 3D models printed and the costs and the range of 3D printed models;
-
Learn about the different materials available and methods of finishing.
-
Continue to work on the design for your model.
-
At the end of the course there will be an interactive feedback session, to help you identify the next steps, answer your questions and for your to receive course notes to take away with you.

Course Description
An introduction to 3D modelling and printing for creative people, perfect for non-CAD user, and focussing on the potential that 3D printing offers you.
This practical course is demonstration and tutorial-led, with plenty of time to handle samples, ask questions, design a 3D object capable of being 3D printed and go through the ordering process.
Using simple Anarkik 3D Design haptic software will get you working creatively from the word go, with a choice of templates for you to customise if you prefer.
An Ultimaker2 personal 3D printer will be printing away to demonstrate the principles of 3D printing.
You will receive practical knowledge and information about 3D printing. By using Anarkik 3D Design you get hands-on experience of designing in 3D and understand both the potential these technologies offer for creating and producing your customised designs and also the constraints!
Agenda
Beginning with a brief overview of the day and a brief explanation of 3D printing followed by a session of handling 3D printed samples in different materials from different systems.
Designing for 3D Printing session:
-
design a printable 3D model using Cloud9 - a brief run through to show the software interface and main menu features of Anarkik 3D Design
-
A haptic modelling software, including the advantages of touch and using a '3D mouse’, followed by your hands-on session.
-
Easy Navigation - getting the feel for interacting/creating in a risk free 3D virtual environment.
-
Designing - try out functions, work with templates, create a 3D model through structured playing and exploring, with individual assistance.
-
