3D Printing

Tech Kits

Tech Kits are part of the walk-in service provided by OPIM Innovate. There are three levels of difficulty meant for different users and their experience with the different technologies. Many of the Tech Kits build off each other as you progress.

Beginner

Introducing 3D Printing

Length: 30-60 Minutes

Description: 3D printing is an evolving, additive manufacturing process. It involves creating layers of heated plastic that stack to form printed parts. The innovative process allows models of a variety of shapes and sizes to be produced quickly and inexpensively. This tech kit teaches users the basic steps required to 3D print an .STL file.

Intermediate

Creating a Simple CAD Model

Length: 30-60 Minutes

Description: Computer-Aided Design, or CAD modeling for short, defines the use of computers to create, modify, analyze, or optimize designs. CAD software is frequently used to create precision drawings or technical illustrations. This tech kit provides an introduction to CAD modeling. It challenges users to create their very own CAD models.

Advanced

Building a CAD Assembly

Length: 30-60 Minutes

Description: Assembly modeling using CAD software describes the handling of multiple files that collectively form one completed part. Different pieces are built separately prior to being merged into one CAD file. This kit provides an introduction to assembly modeling by giving users the skills to build a simple CAD assembly.
