We offer our users a course on how to use 3D printers on their own on Wednesdays at 10.00 and 13.00. The course is scheduled for 1 hour or as required. Completion of the course allows you to use the 3D printer independently in the CTK Creation Room with professional technical support from our experts.
The 3D printing process builds a 3-dimensional object from a previously digitally created model. The 3D printer builds the object by successively adding material layer by layer, which is why this process is also known as additive manufacturing or FDM technology. The objects or parts are built in very thin layers ( 0.05 mm-0.3 mm), which allows the building of very complex geometries that are impossible to achieve with any other manufacturing process.
After completing the course you will have an overview of the complete 3D printing process from 3D design, Slicer software, 3D printer to understanding how you can apply 3D printing technology to your work.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
No, all the equipment and supplies are provided by the CTK Workshop.
Are there any prerequisites for the course?
Yes, CTK membership is a prerequisite for attending the course.
Is the course completely free for CTK members?
Yes. The course is free for CTK members.

The number of students is limited to 3 persons.
Who is the course suitable for?
The course is suitable for complete beginners as well as for those who already have some knowledge and would like to improve their skills.
What will we learn on the course?
In this course we will learn how to prepare a 3D model for successful printing. We will learn about the different parts of a 3D printer, learn how to use Slicer to create G-code...
Where do we run the course?
The course is held in the CTK Creative Room (room 105) in the Central Technical Library (CTK).
