Have you ever wished you could create a custom part for a home repair, design a unique gift that doesn’t exist in any store, or simply bring a cool idea from your imagination into the physical world? For many, the complex world of 3D printing feels like a major barrier. The steep learning curve, the confusing software, and the fear of wasting time and money on failed prints can be enough to stop a great idea in its tracks.

What if you could bypass all that frustration? What if, in just one day, you could gain the skills, confidence, and all the necessary equipment to start creating immediately?

With class sizes strictly limited to 3-4 attendees, you get direct, one-on-one guidance, ensuring every question is answered.

The best part? You leave with the brand new printer you assembled and mastered during the class.
