This workshop will introduce participants to the process of transforming photogrammetric models into 3D-printed objects. Using newly captured digital models from the Neltje Center, attendees will learn how to prepare, slice, and print 3D models using FDM and resin printers. The session will cover essential steps, including file optimization, scaling, and support generation, ensuring participants gain practical experience in digital-to-physical workflows.
Participants will have the opportunity to download a pre-processed photogrammetric model, import it into slicing software, and print their object on our 3D printers. This hands-on approach will highlight best practices for preserving detail, optimizing prints for various materials, and troubleshooting common issues.
This workshop is designed for GIS professionals, educators, and researchers interested in integrating 3D printing into their workflows for visualization, preservation, or educational applications. No prior experience with 3D printing is required.
Workshop Length: 2.5 hours. With participants picking up prints the following day.
