Introduction
This course draws a roadmap for getting started with 3D printing from choosing a printer to learning about 3D modelling. You’ll also learn how to create, modify and repair designs so they’re ready to print, with various free software tools. This is an essential course for both 3D printing novices as well as designers with existing modelling skills that want to enter its marketplace.
