If you've heard about 3D printing in the press and you're still not quite sure what it's all about and would like to know more come along to this brief introduction to 3D printing.

We will explain what 3D printing is, what it can and can't do, how they work and show you some 3D printers in action. You can even take home a 3D printed object to impress your family and friends!

We will also run a brief induction so you can register for free as a Making Rooms user enabling you to attend open days and use the 3D printers and other cool equipment.

After this free session you will:

• Understand what 3D printers are, how they work and what they can make

• Have experienced 3D printers in action

• Take home a 3D printed object

• Be able to use The Making Rooms free of charge on open days as an inducted, registered user.

We will run two sessions, one beginning at 1000 and the second at 1300.
