[Legacy Report] 3D Printing Workshop

#VBIT #3D #Printing #Workshop #CS #C16

EVENT DESCRIPTION:

The Computer Society chapter under IEEE – VBIT SB took an initiative to spread awareness among students on ‘3D printing’. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, turns digital 3D models into solid objects by building them up in layers. This workshop became a platform for the participants to learn the fundamental concepts of 3D printing with great enthusiasm.

The event started with the team introducing our college’s dignitaries and the speaker to the learning enthusiasts which continued with an inaugural speech by our Principal in which he appreciated the forum for the conduction of workshop. Then the event was taken up by Mr. Surendranath Reddy, CEO of REDD.

The workshop was categorized into two sessions.

Session 1:

In the first session, the founder of REDD, Mr. Surendranath Reddy explained the concept of 3D printing, right from the history to the applications. A brief discussion went on for a few minutes. This session was totally an educational talk on 3D printing in which the speaker filled the minds of listeners with the fundamental concepts of 3D printing along with few basic concepts of CAD (Computer Aided Design).

Session 2:

This was a hands-on session.

The participants were taught and made to design few digital 3D models in SketchUp which is a 3D modeling software. He showed many 3D printed products which he had done earlier. He also explained about scanning individuals. To demonstrate it to the candidates more precisely, he took the scan of a person and gave a detailed description about the movements that can be made to the model while designing it.
