Introduction to 3D Printing & Mould Making

Overview

 

The focus of this module is centred around additive manufacturing. A term some would think is relatively new, however, the basic principle of what we know as additive manufacturing has been around since the dawn of time. In this course, we will explore the principles of additive manufacturing and the tools we have available to us today to design and produce using these methods. The specific focus of this course will be around the use of filament-based 3D printing, the setup process, software utilized and material options available.

Note: All certificates are electronically issued.

Module 1: Introduction to 3D Printing 

Students will be exposed to the use and application of additive manufacturing using 3D printers. 

  • What is additive manufacturing
  • Global position and advancements in 3D printing

 

Module 2: The 3D printer

 

  • Preparing the machine for printing
  • Printing bed adjustments

 

Module 3: Creating a basic design in Autodesk Fusion 360

 

  • Basic form visualization
  • Form/model Export

 

Module 4: Utilizing external slicing software in preparation for 3D printing

 

Various 3D printers come with their manufacturer slicing software, which is recommended to use with the printer, however, these slicing software all utilize similar approaches to translate virtual geometry into code that can be understood by the 3D printer.

  • What is the purpose of slicing software
  • How 3D printers use the information from the slice

 

Module 5: Printing

  • Model setup within the slicing software
  • Temperatures, speeds, offsets and supports
  • Running a print and what to look out forPrint removal and cleaning
