3-D Printing and Rapid Prototyping (10:50AM-12:55PM)

3-D PRINTING AND RAPID PROTOTYPING

Entering Grades 10-12 – This course is all about design process and hands-on prototyping with 3-D printers in a professional manufacturing space. Participants will learn the fundamentals of additive manufacturing or 3-D printing of polymers, metals and composites, focusing on industry applications and related design principles. In class sessions, we will run live demonstrations with state-of-the-art industry grade 3-D printers, 3-D Laser scanners and reverse engineering tools. Students will learn how to design, fabricate and measure test parts, and explore additive manufacturing process limits as well as appropriate applications of these technologies.  This course is offered in partnership with the De Anza College Design and Manufacturing Technologies Department.
