Thanks for sharing! This will be taught by COG Member and Partner Vendor, Fun Stuff Design, who are well versed in mold making for prototyping and manufacturing purposes.

Learn how to use your CAD experience to design 3D models that can be 3D printed and used as bases for casting mother molds. Whether you're new to 3D modeling or looking to expand your skills into casting molds, our Prototyping 203 class will help you bring your ideas to life with precision and efficiency. This class will be held on October 18th from 3-5pm. Register today at www.tvcog.net/classes

We are super excited to be partnering with Tech Valley High School this semester! It was inspiring to meet with so many students enthusiastic about tackling hands-on projects; kudos to their staff for empowering the next generation of makers and problem solvers 🦾

Unlock the potential of 3D modeling to streamline your slip casting mold making process! In this 2-hour workshop, you'll learn how to design 3D models in Fusion 360 that can be 3D printed and used as bases for casting mother molds. Though these skills are applicable to making casting molds in general, in this class we will emphasize molding techniques for the ceramic slip casting process. This class will be held on October 18th from 3-5pm. Register today at www.tvcog.net/classes
