The first few weeks of this year have been focused on 3D printing technology. At I.O.Me254, we’re turning learning into an adventure, one layer at a time.
Armed with the Autodesk Fusion 360 software, participants transformed their wild ideas into sleek 3-dimentional parts. The real turning point was having those complex digital designs come together seamlessly after hours of dedication to the craft. An added bonus was that we had the opportunity to learn more about the production of 3D printed prosthetics and life-saving equipment.
Our latest week-long workshop was with 3D printing guru Enrico Bassi, who gathered curious creators who were ready to take a crack at the world of digital design and fabrication. This training saw even the experienced graphic designers scratching their heads.
These 3D printing workshops weren’t just a “press print and watch” kind of deal. Everyone got their hands busy with learning: how the printer works,which materials make the magic happen, and how to finesse those high-quality prints.
Sure, there were a few hiccups—it’s not a workshop without a wonky print or two—but that’s where the real learning (and laughs) kicked in. Beyond the gadgets,these sessions showed how far 3D printing can go, from product design to saving the lives, one layer of filament at a time.
