vbus 130 - Introduction to 3D Printing

This class is designed to teach students how to use a 3D printer and the technology behind 3D printing. Students will learn about the different plastic filaments that are used, and they will learn techniques for feeding the plastic filament into the 3D printer for optimal performance. Students will also learn about components of the printer, such as the extruder nozzle, contact sensor, calibration techniques, software, design methods, and reducing defects. An emphasis is placed on familiarizing students with the use of 3D printing in the areas of personal applications, engineering, design and manufacturing. It will also be of interest to all students who would like to learn more about 3D printing and the future applications of this exciting technology.
