Some exclusive workshops on digital manufacturing with Sketchup

Some exclusive workshop will be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia on June, 2014 to discuss and practice how to utilize a CNC milling machine, 3d printer & PLA rapid prototyping, rapid 3d modeling with sketchup. The attendees will be provided a tailored 3d printer having a milling head to slice and form several materials. There will be practical training to accomplish small projects. Some open source software and machineries will be utilized in this workshop.

By participating with this workshop, all the participants will be familiar with the fundamentals of digital fabrication and adopt all the essential knowledge required to produce simple 2d models to cut and shape.

The workshop will be very useful for Tinkerers, makers, product and industrial designers; architects, carpenters, engineers as well as any other professionals or individual prefer to put their steps in the enthralling world of digital manufacturing.

The workshop will be conducted in English language with Slovenian speaking assistant.

The attendees have to bring their individual laptop with SketchUp installed.
