DO NOT TRY TO RSVP ON MEETUP!!!
Join the community for a digital modeling, co-learning adventure! This beginner-accessible, social event is all about figuring things out together. We’ll start by screening a video or tutorial focused on one of the many 3D modeling software programs you can use to design objects for Laser-cutting, 3D Printing, CNC Routing, Milling, and Machining. As we watch, we’ll pause for questions and comments to further our understanding of these tools. After, we’ll have an open discussion about what we’ve learned.
We’ll use the second half of the evening to show-n-tell what we’re working on, give and get peer support, and share our own ideas and techniques.
Class Type: Exposure
Level: Beginner to Expert
Timing: 2 hours
