3D Pen Workshop | Makerspace Lab

3D Pen Workshop | Makerspace Lab In-Person

Welcome to our 3D pen workshop! In this workshop, we will introduce you to the exciting world of 3D pens and explore their variety of uses.

To start off, we will provide a brief introduction to 3D printing and how it has revolutionized manufacturing and design. We will explain how 3D pens work, and how they are different from 3D printers. We will then move on to a demonstration of how to use a 3D pen, including how to load the filament and create basic shapes.

Once you have a basic understanding of how to use a 3D pen, we will dive into the various ways in which 3D pens can be used. We will explore the following topics:

Art and Design: 3D pens can be used to create a wide range of artistic and design projects, from sculptures to jewelry. We will demonstrate how to use a 3D pen to create three-dimensional shapes, and how to use different colors and textures of filament to add visual interest to your projects. Education: 3D pens can be used in a variety of educational settings, from STEM classes to art classes. We will discuss the benefits of using 3D pens in education and provide examples of how they can be used to teach concepts like geometry, physics, and design. Prototyping and Product Design: 3D pens can be a valuable tool for product designers and engineers, as they allow for the creation of quick and inexpensive prototypes. We will demonstrate how to use a 3D pen to create a prototype of a simple product and discuss the benefits of using 3D pens for prototyping. Personal Projects: Finally, we will discuss how 3D pens can be used for personal projects and hobbies. We will show examples of projects that people have created using 3D pens, from cosplay costumes to DIY home decor.

Throughout the workshop, we will provide hands-on opportunities for you to practice using a 3D pen and create your own projects. We will also be available to answer any questions you may have about 3D pens and their various uses.

By the end of this workshop, you will have a solid understanding of how 3D pens work and the many ways in which they can be used. You will also have created your own 3D pen project to take home and show off to your friends and family!
