3D Printing Workshops
Coming Soon!
Coming Soon!
Ever imagined holding your own custom creation, designed by you and brought into the physical world? That's the magic of 3D printing, and Slyce Studios is excited to guide you on your journey!
We are currently developing a series of engaging workshops designed to demystify 3D printing technology. Whether you're a complete beginner curious about how it all works, a hobbyist looking to expand your skills, or a creator wanting to add a new dimension to your projects, our future workshops will provide the knowledge and confidence you need.
Please note: We're putting the finishing touches on our curriculum and logistics. These workshops are coming soon, but not yet available. Read on to see what we have planned and sign up to be the first to know when they launch!
Our goal is to create workshops that are both informative and hands-on. While the exact curriculum is under development, you can expect to explore topics such as:
The Fundamentals: Understanding different types of 3D printing (like FDM) and how they work.
Finding Your Models: Navigating online repositories for existing 3D designs.
Introduction to Design: Basics of 3D modeling software – turning your ideas into printable files. (Specific software may vary).
Slicing Simplified: Preparing your digital models for the printer using slicing software.
Printer Operations: Getting to know the hardware, essential safety practices, and starting your first prints.
Troubleshooting Basics: Identifying and solving common printing challenges.
Materials Matter: An overview of common printing filaments (like PLA, PETG) and their uses.
Real-World Applications: Exploring the creative and practical possibilities – from prototypes and repairs to art and custom tools.
These workshops will be ideal for:
Curious Beginners: No prior experience needed! If you're intrigued by 3D printing, this is your starting point.
Hobbyists & Makers: Deepen your understanding and improve your printing success rate.
Designers & Artists: Explore how to integrate 3D printing into your creative workflow.
Students & Educators: Discover a powerful tool for learning and teaching STEM concepts.
Problem Solvers: Learn how to create custom solutions, replacement parts, or useful gadgets.
Anyone fascinated by technology and making things!
Initial Launch (Virtual): We plan to begin by offering live, interactive virtual workshops. This allows you to learn from anywhere with an internet connection. We'll leverage technology to make the experience as hands-on and engaging as possible.
Future Goal (In-Person): As Slyce Studios grows, we aim to secure a physical space. Once that happens, we hope to offer in-person workshops, potentially right here in the Colorado Springs area, for a truly hands-on experience.
Beyond being an incredibly cool technology, 3D printing empowers you to:
Innovate: Quickly create prototypes for new ideas.
Customize: Design and print objects perfectly suited to your needs.
Repair: Make replacement parts for broken items around the house.
Create: Produce unique gifts, artistic pieces, miniatures, and more.
Learn: Develop valuable technical skills applicable in many fields.
Have Fun: It's a rewarding process to turn a digital file into a tangible object!
