What will I learn?
This course teaches creating precise 3D models for printing that work reliably in real applications. You will master FDM basics, material properties, tolerances, and fits for hinges, snaps, and screw joints. Gain skills in support-free designs, optimal wall thickness, ribs, infill, printing techniques, risk management, and finishing for seamless assembly and performance.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design snap-fit and hinge joints for durable, repeatable 3D printed mechanisms.
- Optimise FDM geometry by orienting parts, minimising supports, and enhancing surface quality.
- Control tolerances for holes, clearances, and M3 bosses to ensure reliable assemblies.
- Strengthen small parts using walls, ribs, and infill for robust, lightweight components.
- Deliver print-ready models with documented settings, tests, and risk controls.
