Course Overview
The main objective of this course is to provide participants with practical training in the use of FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D printers, including the necessary theoretical background related to this manufacturing technology.
Participants will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to become familiar with this technology, enabling its use in professional projects, including:
- Understanding the basic principles of 3D printing technology: its possibilities and limitations.
- Learning the processes and workflow involved in FFF 3D printing.
- Exploring open-source tools for 3D printing.
- Practicing 3D printing using different printers and 3D models.
Places are limited to 12 participants.
