Workshops
Regardless of your background, major, or design experience, we are committed to teaching all our general members how to 3D print from the ground up. During the Fall Quarter, after we recruit new members, we will host weekly workshops to train everyone how to use CAD tools like Fusion360, and translate your designs into manufacturable prints.
Our Tech Instructors work hard in creating the best free lessons for all the UCLA community, fit for every person to follow along to, regardless of prior CAD skill.
We primarily teach and use Fusion 360, which is free for all UCLA students. The skills learnt transfer over to many other programs, like Sketchup, OnShape, and SolidWorks. We also give insights on the additive manufacturing process, and how to CAD in accordance to the object fabrication method, since prints with layer lines have different material properties to injection molded or CNC'd parts. Finally, some of these workshops also go over the steps needed to build a strong profile so that the skills learnt can apply in industry.
Join us every Thursday from 6 PM to 8 PM, learn a new skill, and make some friends along the way.
