Description: 3D Printer One-Day Training
3D Printers are a popular digital technology but do require a bit of training. Learn how to design projects in Computer Aided Design software [CAD] and effectively print designs in this one-day training provided through Santa Fe Community College (SFCC) at the Higher Education Center (HEC). Students accepted will receive a 3-D printing training certificate and badge upon completion, and Native-serving organizations who's attendees complete the training are eligible to receive donation of a new 3-D printer and supplies. Class size is limited and will be rescheduled if the minimum required enrollment is not met. Representatives from native-serving organizations will be prioritized.

Authorized native -serving organizations may be eligible to receive a new 3D printer and supplies for community deployment. The Da Vinci Pro Evo is a 3D printer produced by XYZprinting uses the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology to produce elastomers and thermoplastics parts using filament feedstock. Estimated value of new Da Vinci Pro Eco 3D Printer = $1900

Equipment donated by R.S. Foundation with program support from Santa Fe Community College (SFCC), Santa Fe Fab-Lab, Community Learning Network (CLN), and NM Office of Broadband Access and Expansion (OBAE).

4. Filament:
Sarah amd Kai tested a range of filaments. and Atomic is their first choice on quality, price, environmental packaging, and Made in USA sourcing, etc. (Cheaper filaments tend to clog the machines.) The Atomic PLA on the home page of 3DPrintLife.com is what they recommend. It is 1.75 mm size.  https://www.3dprintlife.com/
