Courses and Training Events

Bilby 3D offers a range of 3D Printing Workshops and Information sessions based at our Sydney and Melbourne Training centres

We can also provide these sessions at your location (costs vary depending on class size and travel time).

Put simply, our courses are divided into two groups:

• Before you buy info sessions
• After you buy training

In addition we provide lecture style training (most often at school in service events) for groups up to 3000 people.

Using 3D Printers in the Classroom (High school curricula)

This seminar is designed specifically for teachers, to help inspire and provide practical applications for their 3D Printer across curricula areas.
It is not hands on and is delivered in a lecture setting and can be either cross curricula, or customised to specific study areas of :
● ARTS – covering design and fine art applications, developing props and finishing techniques. This would normally also include some practical component with regards to sanding, polishing, painting.
● ENGINEERING – incorporating some CAD plus project ideas that explore material tolerances, strength testing, friction resistance. This topic would normal include training in different materials and the properties in the perspective of fits and tolerances requirements, friction resistance, and High Temp annealing or other post print treatments for strength or UV resistance.
● HISTORY – Use of 3D Printing to replicate ancient artefacts, and art pieces and archaeology
● SCIENCE – Using 3D printing to design tests of velocity, wind resistance
Requirements: Projector or equivalent.
