Finishing and Molding 3D Prints
Phoenix, AZ
This class offers a detailed overview of how various materials can interact with 3D prints, enhancing their aesthetic and functional qualities. Note that this session focuses on post-printing processes and not on 3D modeling. The class begins with a hands-on lesson where participants apply XTC-3D to small FDM printed objects. These will be cured quickly in our shop oven, allowing for immediate continuation with other educational demonstrations. Once cured and cooled, the session will create an open back mold using Mold Star™ 16 Fast. This class is perfect for anyone looking to expand their skill set in 3D print enhancement through practical, real-world applications.
