Get ready for a fully practical, hands-on introduction to 3D printing.

We’ll walk you through everything you need to know starting from theory and how 3D printers work to practicing with starting up the printer and understanding filaments, to using slicer software, generating G-code, and tackling real printing issues live. You’ll see the full workflow in action and learn how to confidently prepare, troubleshoot, and print your own models.

We will also talk about DFAM ( Design for additive manufacturing ) and how does it impact functionality and cost.

After the workshop, enjoy two exciting competitions:

- Mechanical Design & 3D Printing Quiz

- SOLIDWORKS Speed Modeling Contest

Prizes (Score-Based Selection):

Winners from both competitions will earn points, and top scorers will be eligible to choose from the prizes below:

• 1 × CSWP – CAD Design

• 5 × CSWPA – Sheet Metal

Learn, compete, score, and win — all in one event!
