ANSTO 3D Printing Workshop

Date: Tuesday, 21 January 2025

Time: 9:30 am - 3:00 pm (5.5-hours)

Ages: 8-16 years

In this workshop you'll be learning the basics of 3D design and printing by making your own custom name tags, 3D characters and other objects. We'll be using tinkercad.com to design our digital creations, and all models designed on the day but not finished, will be mailed out after the workshop to your address. 3D printers are fun but very slow, so we'll also be using our 3D pens to hand-make fun designs limited only by your imagination!
