    Class Title: Introduction to Resin SLA 3D Printing

    Prerequisite: 

    One Session: 2 Hours

    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.
