3D Design & Modelling for 3D Printing
Thursday 22nd May 2025
(Multiple Dates Between Thursday 22nd May 2025 & Tuesday 27th May 2025)
Presented by STEM workshop experts, EDGYX.
Learn about 3D design using Tinkercad and design your very own 3D models for printing at the Make-It Space.
You'll use free and open-source software and your own laptop to create 3D printable models. Then use our 3D printers to bring your creations to life!
Basic materials are supplied including filament for 3D printing. All sessions are BYO laptop. There are three PCs available to use, please include in your booking if you require a PC.
Each session will build upon knowledge from the last, so participants are encouraged to attend all three sessions.
Places for this workshop are very limited. Please do not book into sessions you are unable to attend. If you can no longer attend a session, please cancel your booking via Eventbrite or contact us so your spot can be re-allocated to someone on the waitlist.

Session 1: Foundations of Digital Design
Thursday, 15 May
Understand 3D digital design concepts and basic 3D design tools. Participants will bring their own laptops and learn how to create 3D designs in Tinkercad. If you require a Make-It Space PC booking, please let us know.
Session 2: From Design to Fabrication
Thursday, 22 May
Learn how to prepare files for 3D printing using 3D slicing software. Understand safe operation of our 3D printers. Participants can print small 3D item on our 3D printers.
Session 3: 3D Modelling and Creative Project
Tuesday, 27 May
Delve deeper into 3D design and modelling with Tinkercad. Support will be provided to address any challenges and extend learning. Understand the principles behind 3D print settings in order to get the best and most efficient 3D prints. Further prints can be made at the Make-It Space after this session.
The Mick Bennett Make-It Space is supported by Wespine and Lotterywest.
