This 3D printing meetup agenda covered the following topics in 3 sentences:
The meetup was hosted by Dreambox on February 11th at the Berkeley Skydeck to discuss 3D printing technologies and applications. Attendees could sign up online to receive 3D printing material samples and the agenda included discussions on the history and current uses of 3D printing, how to design 3D models, and examples of student 3D printing projects at UC Berkeley. Dreambox also proposed a semester-long student project to collaboratively 3D model and print scale models of major campus buildings.

In this fun, hands-on workshop, I’ll lead you through a series of exercises which help you learn to draw good-looking, quick, useful, user interface (UI) sketches.
This class covers:
• Types of sketches
• Why sketch?
• Sketching materials
• Grids, containers and functional groupings
• Developing your personal UI shorthand
This workshop is appropriate for designers, product managers, Web developers, software engineers or anyone else who needs to think about or communicate concepts for digital products. No prior artistic or drawing experience necessary. If you can draw a circle, a square and a triangle, you’ve already got the basics covered!
Learning how to quickly sketch screen layouts and UI elements helps you think through design problems, communicate ideas to other people, collaborate, and reduce the need for pixel-perfect deliverables. Work through the exercises in this workshop and pick up some new skills you can use right away in your own projects.
Ever wondered what makes a really great product? Or what is the difference between good and great user experience? This presentation will give you some really cool answers covering those topics and also will encourage you to... make more mistakes. True story.
3D printing has been a focal point in library makerspaces for several years; however, it seems that interest in the technology has decelerated. The technology may have slowed down, but there is still a lot going on in this space, which can be overwhelming to keep up with it all. In this webinar:
- Learn what 3D printing is, how it works, and gain insight on how to implement/maintain, and to perhaps build your own 3D printer.
- Get a snapshot of some of the best 3D printers and products on the market, including an overview on resin and carbon printers.
- Discover a variety of 3D design applications to help with getting ideas to working prototypes.
- Study trends in digital scanning and other emerging 3D design/printing technologies.
- Interview an expert 3D designer/printer in the industry to get even more insight into this exciting technology.
3D printed cars, homes, prosthetic hands, food, International Space Station tools, and almost anything imagined is now mainstream. 3D printing seems to have taken over the world and 3D printers are now affordable for many consumers. However, basic 3D design principles tend to be neglected, especially in library makerspaces. 3D printing objects work well only when one follows basic fundamentals of 3D design. In this webinar:
- Understand 3D printing and how it works.
- Discover a variety of free 3D design applications and repositories.
- Learn basic 3D design fundamentals (e.g., understanding 3D space and geometry, modeling, surfaces, textures, and rendering images).
- Gain hands-on experience designing a 3D object that can be 3D printed.
Note: it is recommended attendees create a Tinkercad (https://www.tinkercad.com/) account before this workshop.
3D Scanning for 3D Printing: Making Reality Digital and then Physical Again, ...Melissa Tiffany
Using a series of compelling case studies, this updated presentation enhanced from just a year ago, will highlight the evolution, current capabilities, and future possibilities for realizing the potential of 3D scanning for 3D printing. Discussion will include background and observations on
the business of 3D scanning and 3D printing with clues to leveraging the explosion of 3D for other downstream design, analysis, and visualization demands. The practical challenges for converting 3D scan data into 3D print-ready files will also be discussed.

CREATIVITY AND 3D PRINTING by INKONOVA (Stockholm 22 Jan. 2015)Inkonova AB
'CREATIVITY AND 3D PRINTING', a presentation by Pau Mallol (CEO at INKONOVA, www.inkonova.se) held in Stockholm the 22nd January 2015 in the third Stockholm's 3D Printing Meetup in Sweden (http://www.meetup.com/Stockholm-3D-Printing-Meetup).
Video of the presentation: (coming soon)
This talk was first presented at the Maryland Society for Educational Technology 2014 Common Ground conference. It is meant as an introductory talk about 3D printing and how to get started designing for 3D printing and printing even if you don't have a 3D printer.
We discuss:
* What exactly is 3D printing
* What can it do
* What it can't do
* The uses of 3D printing in fashion, architecture, food, medical devices, and tools
* Real world projects using 3D printing and everyday people
* How 3D printing can be used in the classroom
* Different types of 3D printers
* Different types of 3D printing materials
* Different software solutions for creating 3D designs
* Some 3D printing resources
From a presentation given at the Jupiter Branch of the Palm Beach County Library System on Wed, Jun 25, 6:30 pm:
Robotics Engineer, Pierre Baillargeon, will discuss 3D printing. Learn about this new innovative technology, how it works, what it looks like and what are some of the things you can create using a 3D printer. (60 min.)
3d Printing: History and Current TechniquesDavid Gerhard
Why do we care about 3d printing? What are the economics of 3d printing? How do the different 3d printers work? How do you design something to be 3d printed?
Digifab Conf - Direct Dimensions - 3D Scanning for 3D Printing, Making Realit...Direct Dimensions, Inc.
Slideshare presentation by Direct Dimensions at the Digifab Conf in Baltimore, MD on Nov 17, 2014. See http://digifabcon.org for more on the event. This presentation is about 3D Scanning to make digital content for 3D printing and other 3D visualization and design uses.
What if you are passionate about 3D printing but can't do CAD. The issue is that to 3D print you need a 3D digital model, not just any model but a watertight solid model in a specific file format. CAD software has been the main way to produce the models for 3D printing and CAD does not fit with many people's way of thinking so they struggle if they get that far!. Fortunately there are now alternative methods of creating and getting models and this presentation, given at the 3DPrintShow 2014 in London, covers those that would be of more interest to applied artists, 3D artists and designer makers. You don’t have to use CAD.

45. Save as .stl
• Save your model as a .stl file
– Be careful what units you save in
– Be careful what resolution you save in
• Not too high or too low
• Have a student version of Solidworks?
– Save as .stl with eDrawings
