3D Printing

Interested in electronic music? Enjoy working with synthesizers? Have a cool idea for something that you want to make but you just don't know how? Pure data is the perfect program to enable your vision and help you grow as a musician. Pure Data is a free, open source and multi platform visual programming language that can put a lot of power into the hands of those who spend some time to learn it. Designed to be easy for musicians to understand, Pure Data requires no knowledge of script-based programming languages to master. Instead programming is done by connecting blocks representing different functions together with cables to direct the flow of information and audio around a patch. Build patches to make silly sounds, to write music with an algorithm, to analyse sensor data, or to process incoming audio for novel effects, the sky is the limit to what can be done with Pure Data. This class is appropriate for people with little to no knowledge of how the program works. For those who understand the program a bit better there will be a second intermediate class held at a later date. WHAT YOU WILL NEED: Your own laptop with Pure Data installed (Mac, Windows and Linux are all supported, old laptops are generally fine). For instructions to install visit this site: https://puredata.info/downloads/pure-data Please make sure that you have installed Pure Data before class has started. All proceeds from this event will be going towards our kickstarter found here.

In this class you will learn how to operate a Stratasys brand Objet30 Prime 3D printer. This printer offers a wealth of exciting materials and printing resolution as low as 16 microns! What’s next after FDM, plastic layer deposit 3D printers? How about a next-level, professional quality 3D printer? This class will teach you how to safely and smartly use Hexlab’s Stratsys Objet 3D printer. With this printer small, detailed projects like jewelery and machine parts become possible. It prints over 10x the resolution of a desktop FDM ad solves many of the setup issues that plague even top end FDM printers. Of course, the machine and the materials it uses are much more expensive, so this class will cover how to set up your work piece with as little waste as possible. AGE RESTRICTIONS: 18 and up (exceptions can be made for ages 15-17 that are interested, and 12+ are ok if they attend with a parent) PRICING: $70 General Admissions.

CLASS DESCRIPTION: Enter the world of an exciting new technology with implications that will change manufacturing forever. Similar to a 2d paper printer, a 3d printer can take a file from your computer made using CAD software and extrude layers of molten plastic to create an actual physical object based on your design. Use 3D printers to prototype physical parts cheaply before having them mass produced, make one off designs as tools or art, create negatives to cast a mold, or design cool figurines as decorations. Don't know how to create 3D designs? Don't worry! There are thousands of designs uploaded to popular websites for free that you can browse through, or you can take one of our Fusion 360 CAD classes to gain useful 3D modelling skills. TOOLS AND MATERIALS: Provided: Lulzbot Taz 6 3D Printer, Printing Filament If you have a specific file you would like to start out with please bring it in on an SD card, our printers can only use the .STL format. AGE RESTRICTIONS: 18 and up (exceptions can be made for ages 15-17 that are interested, and 12+ are ok if they attend with a parent) PRICING: $35 General Admissions.
