Learn 3D printing and design for art, jewelry, and prototyping. Bring your ideas to life, create, and sell online while mastering essential skills.
This course is all about making your 3D design dreams come true! You’ll learn the ins and outs of creating cool 3D printed objects, from the very first idea to selling them online. It’s fun, flexible, and totally hands-on!
3D Printing and Design for Art, Jewelry & Rapid Prototyping. Design 3D objects and earn extra income by selling online.
The world needs makers, builders and designers! Your ideas could really change the world. With some really cool ideas, a modification of some 'thing' that exists, or even a new spin on an old object, the world of rapid prototyping has opened doors for the everyday thinker/tinkerer to bring his or her ideas to market. Let me show you how to take your ideas, model them, prototype them, and sell them online!
In this course we will look at how to design and create real 3D printed objects and designs. The course material is based on the fastest developing trend in technology "3D Printing". If you have a natural curiosity for tinkering, building, or engineering your own designs, this is a course in bringing those designs to life, and to market!
The lectures in this course will provide you with the background knowledge you need to design in 3D covering skills like; modeling, meshing, extruding, rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and more. All of the materials in this course are based on developing real-world experience in designing printable products and selling them online.
*Even if you don't have access to your own personal 3D printer, I will show you several options to handle this small problem.*
You DO have options for getting your ideas printed for prototyping before they go to market!
The course is comprehensive in nature and starts with an overview of what 3D printing technology is, some of the leaders in this space, and how the process works. As the course progresses, students will see how simple ideas can quickly come to a design, and how those designs can be printed within hours. Further, I will show you how to create an online store and sales system for marketing and selling your ideas. A start to finish process of idea -> design -> prototype -> product for sale.
The course can be taken in small bits, and could easily be completed in a few days. If you stop to work through the projects, it could easily take up to two weeks. Move as you see fit through the projects based on your comfort and experience level.
The course is updated frequently as new projects, technologies and trends become available. Last updated October 14, 2014.
Design and build products in a variety of software systems that could be 3D printed using your own printer or online services.
Students will learn to rapid prototype objects and structures, then prepare files for professional printing, sale or mass production.
Participants will work on a variety of projects focusing on objects for art, functional design, jewelry, engineered products, industrial design and architecture.

Section 3 Videos were all pretty much the same thing.
Great content. lots of great introduction to software and online print shops!
I was hoping for a more technical course about specifics of equipment, filaments, etc. However this does offer a good intro into how to convert designs into printable objects. Info on software and print houses is now dated (as of May 2020), since both 3D Systems Cubify, and Shapeways no longer off the services described in the class.
A lot of the information covered so far is discovered easily by anyone that is interested in 3d printing. The basics should be covering more aspects of the machine and materials as well as general overviews of setting up new equipment. The Illustrator overview was worth watching and included some good information.
Fantastic course that has just given me a new business idea! Loaded with very useful information!
Clear and concise explanations
Packed full of information.
Becoming aware of all the design possibilities is very cool.
I thought this was an excellent course for demystifying design and production and options for marketing and selling objects. Some software is no longer available, and there were references to blender but no course material. I think a module on blender would add a lot of value. I had some audio problems and had to keep the volume on maximum

time to get use to how the different items work. some items are out dated. Referring to software that was discontinued in 2015
