2024 Summer Program

We’ve all been there. Your favorite toy car broke or your dog bit your legos. There’s no way to salvage that beloved item that had been so dear to your heart. Look no further! With the help of 3D Printing, those forgotten, disfigured items can be not only fixed but improved! The limits of creation are your imagination. You can design a new spoiler for your toy car or a one-of-a-kind lego piece to use in your next builds.

You will learn how to use Fusion360, a Computer-Aided Design program, to model digital objects in order to solve the problems an engineer would regularly face. You’ll master every step of the process, from the initial sketches to the final layout and printing in slicing software. Be prepared to take on a plethora of design challenges, the solutions to which are up to you to find out.
