3D Printer Workshop at Western Maryland Works – Lavale, MD

Learn how to turn your digital designs into real, three-dimensional objects! This hands-on training introduces you to 3D printer operation, preparing and slicing files, selecting materials, setting up a print, and safely operating the machine. Please note: This training focuses on using the 3D printer and preparing an existing digital file for printing. It does not include 3D modeling or instruction on how to create a digital design from scratch. Participants should bring their own print-ready file or use an available design.
