3D Printer Simplicity: If You Can Push a Button, You Can Print
For many educators, the 3D printer feels like a mysterious black box, but this 3-hour afternoon session is designed to turn that "tech-anxiety" into total confidence.
We are stripping away the complexity of 3D printing and focusing on a "No-Fear" workflow. We will walk through the entire process—from the moment you click "Export" to the moment you peel a finished object off the build plate. This is a hands-on, "show-and-tell" workshop where no question is too basic.
Don't let your school's 3D printer gather dust for another year. Whether you have a brand-new machine in a box or an old workhorse in the library, you’ll leave this session with the skills to hit Print with confidence.
