| Tech Insider: How To Use Desktop 3D Printers to Reduce Product Design & Development Costs |
Thursday, 12 December 2013 • 2:00 PM ET, 11:00 AM PT, 19:00 GMT
Join us for an introduction to the new MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer. Learn how Desktop 3D Printers can reduce the time and cost of rapid prototyping, model making, product design, and concept development.
We will walk you through the 3D printing process, step-by-step, starting with a CAD file and ending with a printed part.
Learn the properties of PLA filament, a high detail and high strength bio plastic that can render models in great detail.
See samples of the wide variety of prototypes, parts, and models that demonstrate the capabilities of the MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer and MakerBot Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner.
What you will learn:
- How the new category of Desktop 3D Printers can reduce the time and cost of rapid prototyping, model making, and product design and concept development.
- The desktop 3D printing process, step-by-step, starting with a CAD file and ending with a printed part.
- The benefits, low material cost, and reasons to use PLA filament in Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF).
- The benefits of affordable rapid prototyping and model making, right at your desk.
- Using a Desktop 3D Printer and Desktop 3D Scanner to prototype new products.
