    Class Title: Introduction to Resin SLA 3D Printing

    One Session: 3 Hours

    Prerequisite: Introduction 3D Printing

    Max # of Participants: 3

    Course Objectives: In this workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of Resin Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing, including the technique's principles, applications, safety considerations, and hands-on experience in creating their own resin 3D printed object.

    Outcomes:
    Understanding the basics of Resin SLA 3D printing technology.
    Operating and calibrating an SLA 3D printer.
    Preparing 3D models for resin printing using slicing software.
    Gaining insights into post-processing techniques for resin prints.
    Implementing safety guidelines and precautions during the printing process.

    How to use/make:
    How to operate and maintain an SLA 3D printer.
    How to prepare 3D models for successful resin printing.
    How to handle and post-process resin prints for optimal results.

    Safety considerations:
    Proper handling of resin materials and cleaning agents.
    Wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with resin.
    Minimizing exposure to UV light during the printing and curing processes.

    Materials Included:
    Access to SLA 3D printers and necessary tools.
    Sample resin materials for printing during the workshop.
    Safety goggles and gloves for protection.
