CFI Advanced: 3D Printing (Ages 13+) *

Advanced slicing techniques, multi-color printing, tips for CAD modeling, and more!

Not to be mistaken for Learning Lab: 3D Printing. This class does not replace the orientation or grant participants the ability to use library 3D printers. Learning Lab: 3D Printing is not a prerequisite for this class, though it is recommended for beginners.

Want to learn more about 3D printing? This class builds upon the fundamentals discussed in Learning Lab: 3D Printing and dives deeper into more complex printing techniques, slice settings, and applications. We will explore a wide range of topics such as... 

• Customizing supports & improving first layers
• Filament calibration
• Multi-color & multi-material printing
• Flexible/composite filaments
• Design considerations for 3D printing
• Smoothing & texturing techniques
• 3D printing in metal, clay, and chocolate! 
• FDM/SLA for manufacturing & prototyping

Participants are encouraged to bring any questions/challenges related to 3D printing to the class.

All abilities are welcome. For disability accommodations, call 479.856.7050 or email centerforinnovation@faylib.org 2-3 days before a program.

Ages 13+ (under 13 with responsible adult)
