Learn 3D Printing
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
One of the most popular forms of 3D printing, fused deposition modeling is an additive manufacturing method that extrudes melted material through a nozzle to create layers that join together, forming 3D parts.
FDM Training Guide
The document at right provides an overview of the 3D printing workflow, including the usage of software (Cura and Makerbot Print) and post-processing procedures.
To get training on the printers, read the document, complete the guided project, and then request hands-on training using the link provided in the training manual.
