Course Detail: LLC.1332 - LLC 1332 Fabricating the Future: 3D Printing to Metal Casting

Students will conceptualize and design an object, which they then produce using 3D printing technology. This printed model will serve as a pattern for metal casting. Employing the sand molding foundry method, students will fabricate a mold and melt metal to pour into it, ultimately producing a casting. Ages 12-17.

This manufacturing camp is offered at a discount thanks to generous funding from SparkForce The FMA Foundation. More information can be found at fmamfg.org.
