Learn to 3D print - Learn how to export models in real-world scale from Blender - Find out what it takes to prepare a model in Preform - Discover how to generate and manipulate support structures for more reliable printing - Be shown how to work with the Form 1+ 3D printer - See what it takes to clean-up a print after it’s done. You will learn the complete process, from the initial export out of Blender to the printing procedure to the final cleanup and removal of the support material. In this course I’m going to give you a run-through on how to take a high-resolution model from Blender, with lots of small details, and then 3D print it on a Form 1+. By curing a thin layer at a time, it’s able to slowly build up a physical form from slices. The Form 1+ is a stereolithographic machine, meaning it uses a UV light-source to cure liquid resin into a solid. By default, Blender uses an inherent system of measurement which is not based on a. This tutorial was made for Blender users with an interest in 3D printing. One of the more prominent, and might I say, high-quality machines that has come available is the Form 1+ from Formlabs. 3D Printing Tutorial : Blender Introduction. The machines are more accessible, cheaper, and easier to use than ever before. Welcome to 3D printing In recent years the consumer level, and prosumer 3D printers market has simply exploded. But nothing I created was actually tangible. Like eight hours per day when I was age 13, type of consumed. I grew up working with my hands, doing everything from home construction to wood working (mostly to make bows and arrows, honestly), and so when I discovered modeling I became absolutely consumed. Understanding the basic workflows and learning how to manipulate basic objects. Goal: This course is all about getting to know the tools. Sure, I could print renders out on paper, but creating beautiful imagery wasn’t what I really enjoyed. Our Beginner 101 Course is built to get you comfortable with the Blender 2.8 interface as soon as possible so that you can start designing the stuff in your own head. At that time everything I created existed almost exclusively in the computer.

This DVD has been produced by Blender Foundation.
On his website you can find many examples of his work. He is an enthusiast user of Blender, owns a MakerBot printer, and a big fan of anything open and sharing. Whether you own your own 3D printer, or use online services such as ShapeWays, this 3+ hours training DVD will help you joining this exciting new Maker era!ĭolf Veenvliet is a Dutch artist who has been exploring 3D printing for sculpture design for many years. You will also find printable models to experiment with yourself.
It then handles all topics you need to know for efficient and good quality 3D prints, including color, wall thickness or overhang problems. There are extensive chapters introducing Blender modeling for new users. This Training DVD is for everyone who is into 3D printing, beginners and professionals alike.
With the latest Blender version (2.67) this now is even more accessible and powerful with the new 3D Printing Toolbox and real-time Mesh Analysis features. 7zip, contains directory with all the files)īlender already supports 3D printing modeling and file-formats since 2002.
