Join us for adventures in 3D printing! In this series we will cover everything you need to know to start 3D printing confidently as well as some tips and tricks to brush up on or expand your existing 3D printing knowledge.
This class is part three of a four-part series. While it is recommended that registrants attend all the sessions, it is not required for them to attend all four sessions in order to register.
