You will need a computer with FreeCAD 1.0.2 already installed . FreeCAD is available for Windows\, Mac\, and Linux computers. It's free to download from FreeCAD.org. (If you don't have a laptop\, contact me. I know of one or two that might be available.)\n\nWe will be using the meeti ng room at the Reading Branch Library as our classroom. The meeting room i s to your left upon entering the library. There is plenty of parking.\n\nT he library opens at 10:00 am. Please be set up and ready to go by 10:30. I f your computer needs power\, you might consider bringing an extension cor d just in case. We will begin by introducing the FreeCAD environment. And then you will draw a 3D model that uses many features of FreeCAD. You will export that model to an STL file\, which you could print at a Makerspace (such as the Main Library downtown or the Loveland Library). After that\, we will explore more 2D drafting features of FreeCAD. Collectively\, the f eatures we explore will give you the ability to draw 90% of anything you w ish to draw.\n\nLunch: Nearby is Gyro Subs\, which has a $10 lunch combo ( sandwich\, fries\, and drink). Gyros\, burgers\, Philly steak\, chicken\, and more. We are allowed to eat in the meeting room. Other restaurants are nearby\, including a Subway.\n\nAfter lunch\, we will go to Make Anything Solutions in Norwood (1776 Mentor Ave)\, which is a 3D Printing Services startup with a variety of 3D printers. Andrey Feldman will give us a tour and answer questions about additive manufacturing. We should see some prin ters in action (hopefully printing the part from our tutorial).\n\n- 10:00 - 10:30 Setup\n- 10:30 - 12:00 FreeCAD class\n- 12:00 - 1:00 Lunch\n- 1:0 0 - 2:30 Make Anything Solutions tour\n\nReading Branch Library\, 8740 Rea ding Road\, Cincinnati\, Ohio\, United States\, 45215 LOCATION:Reading Branch Library\, 8740 Reading Road\, Cincinnati\, Ohio\, U nited States\, 45215 ORGANIZER:Brian.Resnick@ieee.org SEQUENCE:85 SUMMARY:3D Printing Lunch & Learn - APR 14 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/550389 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>This event explores 3D Printing: creating a 3D model\, exporting the model to an STL file\, converting that file int o data used by the 3D printer\, the 3D printer in action\, and a Q&amp\;A session about additive manufacturing.</p>\n<p>In the morning\, we will lea rn how to use FreeCAD to create a 3D model.
