September 16th: Innovation & Design Station
How does something go from a simple sketch to a fully realized real-world design? What does it take to bring a new product from an idea to life? Learn the basics of prototyping as we create a virtual object that we can then send to one of our in-house 3D printers for production!*
*Please note: model size restrictions apply. These will be printed throughout the week after the lesson and will not be available on the day of the class
