Upcoming Classes
Intro to Desktop Printing
Get started by learning about the most common types of desktop 3D printers, different filament materials, supported file types, and online resources. We’ll work together to download a file, explore slicer settings, and get an intro to 3D CAD software.
Makers Lab: Print Session
Bring your design to life. Print a miniature version of the 3D design you made in the Intro to Desktop Printing class. Whether you rendered your company logo or just want to print a replacement game piece, you can reserve a 30-minute spot with one of the 5 printers in XLR8HI’s maker lab.
Advanced 3D Modeling presentation
From Tinkercad to Zbrush, discover the world of advanced 3D modeling and find out what you’ll need to take your designs to the next level. Watch a live demonstration of digital sculpting, photogrammetry, and high quality prototyping.
