This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.

Take baby steps to learn how 3D Printing works and take an idea from zero to reality, fabricate & manufacture at home! Understand how the flow works.

Technology is here to stay and will forever change our life. Manufacturing and DIY at home with the aid of technology is a reality TODAY. Even 9 year old kids have been using 3D Printers to make robots, sculptures, and beyond.

Do not fear, zero computer science and 3D background required.

You will earn the 3D Printing badge (in dev) after acquiring the basic skills necessary to create a 3D model and get it printed and become reality. With the help of an online browser based 3D modeling tool, we will be able to create 3D jewels and sculpture in no time.

Learn the skills before it become mandatory. Be a stealth ninja ahead of the chase.

Happy 3D Printing!

Be sure to share what you have created and what you have discovered! My favorite on Tinkercad? Technical architect Pekka's many creations and quests.

At the end of the course you earn the super awesome 3D Printing badge that is in development. The draft is available in task 2. Working on getting the badge to P2PU.

To complete this task you need to submit your thoughts on:

1. What have you learnt from the challenge, anything surprising?

2. Give 1-2 feedback on how we can improve

3. What would you like to learn next about 3D printing?

Congrats, you are now a Ninja *intern*. Oops there is more to learn :-) but you can create already!
