Introduction to 3D printing

+++ Date changed +++ Date changed +++ Date changed +++

Unfortunately Starship Factory remains closed to the public because of the coronavirus ordinance in force. We therefore have to postpone our introduction to 3D printing. It is now expected to take place on Friday, 16 April during our regular opening hours from 20:00. This is an event by laypeople for laypeople. After a short introduction to the principles of TLD (“thin layer deposition”) 3D printing and the typical workflows, we will explore Starship Factory’s machines together. Depending on how we feel, we will start a series of test prints, investigate how the machines work, or print first models. After this introduction you will normally be qualified to use Starship Factory’s 3D printers on your own. After that there are no limits to your creativity.

Please note that the date may shift depending on the pandemic situation.
