【3D Printing News】3D Printing Lecture Debuts at "Southern Maker Space"!
In recent years, the popular "Maker" trend has been growing, so the government has established "Maker Spaces" in many places for public use. This time, 3DMART came to one of these spaces, the "Southern Maker Space," located at Xinying Station in Tainan. The location is convenient and highly recognizable, just look for the round sign at the entrance.
On the glass at the entrance, there are cute maker tool icons. Through the glass, you can vaguely see various craft works displayed inside. Stepping into the maker space, it's even more abundant than what was visible from outside, with even some larger assembled models.
This 3D printing lecture took place in the classroom on the 3rd floor, and the audience was already seated! First, 3DMART's professional instructor introduced the basic forming concepts of common 3D printing, including FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), SLA (Stereolithography), SLS (Selective Laser Sintering), and more, as well as recent market developments and trends.
Unlike before, as we continuously pursue advanced manufacturing technologies, we now offer diverse tools such as laser processing, CNC milling machines, and vacuum forming machines, and we compared these processing technologies with 3D printers.
This time, we also invited Nobu, a dashing professional instructor from Rhino, to explain how to use various functions and coding procedures of Rhino for modeling. The biggest advantage of Rhino software lies in its complex surface representation, which can even be converted with a single click through computation, and then used with a 3D printer to create physical objects.
The Ultimaker S5 on-site was already 3D printing from the start. To quickly demonstrate the process from virtual modeling to physical 3D printing, we had also pre-printed the complete two-color vase made by instructor Nobu.
In addition, the instructor guided students to personally try out practical operations of the 3D printer, such as changing nozzles, loading filament, and cleaning. Since the new Ultimaker S5 has been updated with a touch screen, it's not difficult at all, and even beginners can easily get started.
Before leaving, let's recap this rich maker space, which includes multiple tools such as 3D printers, laser processing, and CNC milling machines. You read that right! There are "Guai Guai" snacks on the machines in the maker space, a cute gesture that brings a smile to engineers. We look forward to seeing you here again next time! If you missed the lecture, don't be sad, here's an easy-to-read online version: Comparison and Principles of Common 3D Printing Technologies.
