The goal of the class is to give a complete primer on printing processes and software, then show how you can apply that knowledge to create your own designs and manufacture them at home or from a service bureau like Shapeways. You will also learn about selling items from your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/archives\/24860-how-to-open-a-shop-tips-for-success.html\">Shapeways shop<\/a>, custom object co-creation, and the logistics of re-selling printed items through other venues like Etsy and Ebay.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn\u00a0the foundations of 3D Printing with an introduction to 3D Modeling with design for 3D printing expert Aaron Trocola.
