Introduction
Students learn the fundamentals of 3D printing by designing their own models using software like TinkerCAD and SketchUp. This hands-on bootcamp includes live printing demonstrations and guidance on advanced modeling techniques. By the end, students will have created their own custom 3D-printed keychain and gained practical skills in 3D printing technology.
