3D Printing Workshop
Happy Monday everyone!
A few quick points about the up-and-coming 3D printing workshop.
There are 3 sessions (one per week) on the 16th, 23rd and 30th of July. All are located in the Rosyth Business Centre and run from 09:30 to 12:30.
Week One will focus on teaching you some of the basics of realising your idea. We will teach you the basics of using a CAD package (FreeCAD), potentially using the 3D scanner (if anyone needs it) and collaboratively working on your idea.
Alas, we’re not equipped with a computer suite, so we would request that you bring your own laptop to work on. This will help us to maximise the time for 3D modelling. If you need a hand with installation we can do it on the day.
To get the most out of the first session, it would be great if you could do the following:
- Come with an idea! Try to have it vaguely sketched out with dimensions if possible.
- Install FreeCAD on your computer. If you’re unsure whether you need to install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version on your computer, just install the 32-bit.

As per the previous presentations, we will be supplying tea and coffee.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask to send me an email, or to get in touch over social media.
