[Entry] 3D Printing: Beyond The Basics (Full Day Course) In-Person

Most courses teach you how to press print. This one teaches you how to master the machine.

Designed for the serious beginner, this intensive workshop focuses on theprocess: the hardware sensitivities, the software settings, and the practical know-how that turns failed prints into successes.

  • A hands-on, confidence-first approach focused on practical skills.
  • Direct, near 1:1 access to Bambu Lab 3D printers.
  • Moving beyond default settings to understand the "why" behind every step.
  • A printer and process-centric curriculum, not just model printing.
  • Guidance from practitioner-instructors with real-world troubleshooting expertise.
  • The freedom to bring your own models for live, personalized consultation.
  • A clear pathway from learning to doing, whether you choose our makerspace or your own machine.

From Default Settings to Confident Control.

Booking & How It Works

  • 1. Pick Your Date & Book (1 Quantity per Pax)
    Choose your preferred day and book your spot online.

    Example "01 Jan 25 - Morning Session x 2 Quantity (2 Pax)".
    --

    2. We’ll Confirm Your Session Time
    Once you’ve booked, we’ll contact you to confirm your exact 90-minute session time on your chosen date. Sessions run in small groups (max 12 people) and we assign the time slots.

    For example, "01 Jan 25 - 11AM to 1230PM as first slot is full"

  • What if a session is full?
    If your preferred time slot is taken, we’ll offer you the next available session that same day or help you reschedule.

    For example, If you have chosen morning session and is completely full, we will attempt to schedule an afternoon of the same day; or if you prefer another morning session.

    --

    Why do we schedule this way?
    We want to keep our prices low. Pre-assigned times let us keep our groups small, our workshops hands-on, and our prices low—so you can focus on learning, not waiting.

Expertise beyond selling filament. Born from hands-on experience in 3D printing, prototyping and product design.

Our goal isn't just to show you how a printer works; it's to equip you with the foundational wisdom and confidence to become a capable maker, using the best tools and materials available.

We understand that the best filament in the world is useless without the knowledge to use it. That's why our expertise goes beyond selling spools; it's rooted in real-world application, troubleshooting, and innovation every day.

Deep, Practical Material Knowledge.

We don't just teach you to load filament; we explain why materials behave as they do. You learn the "why" behind settings for PLA, PETG, and specialty filaments from the team that formulates and tests them.

Curriculum Built on Real Failures & Solutions

Our course content is distilled from thousands of hours of printing in our own studio. We teach you the most common pitfalls and proven fixes from day one, saving you hours of frustration. This is insider knowledge from a professional printing environment.

Learn on Optimized, Reliable Hardware

We use and maintain the same printers we recommend to our clients. You learn on calibrated, production-ready machines, ensuring your first experience is smooth and successful, not hampered by faulty equipment.

A Direct Pathway from Learning to Doing

The course is your gateway. Discover a filament you love? Take some home. Have an idea for a project? Get an instant consultation on materials and feasibility with our Innovative Design Studio Makerspace. We are your end-to-end partner in making.
