LEARN BY DOING
At This Is the Name 3D, classes are built around understanding the process — not simply watching a printer run.
Start with the fundamentals, learn how your design and slicer decisions affect the physical result, and build the skills to take on more independently.
INTRO TO 3D PRINTING - LEVEL 1
Design your first custom 3D print and learn how slicer settings affect real-world results.
This is a hands-on introduction using Orca Slicer. You’ll design a simple custom keychain, prepare it for printing, and explore how settings influence strength, print time, and material use.
NO EXPERIENCE? PERFECT. START HERE.
THE NEXT STEP: HELPING HANDS - LEVEL 2
You know the basics. Now learn how to use them.
This class is where you Practice what you learned in Intro class, and learn a little more.
Helping Hands builds on the foundation from Level 1 with guided instruction, troubleshooting, and more time working through the decisions behind a successful print.
Bring your questions. Make mistakes. Learn why something worked — or why it didn't.
YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL YOU START.
You don’t need to know the software.
You don’t even need to know what questions to ask yet.
Just show up curious. With your laptop. We’ll start there.
