Rapid Prototyping – Resin (SLA) Printing Orientation

Tuesday, March 10th / 6PM-8PM

Join us at The MINT for a brief orientation in Resin/SLA (Stereolithography) 3D printing.

We’ll kick things off with a quick overview of rapid prototyping technologies, with a focus on resin/SLA printing.

From there, we’ll explore the history of resin printing and dive into how resin printers work, including key safety considerations. Along the way, we’ll cover common printing techniques, tips for best results, and how to turn digital designs into physical parts.

We’ll review websites for finding design files, discuss slicing software and recommended settings, and walk through best practices.

The session will conclude with a live demo using Chitubox and an STL file of your choice, showing the full workflow from model to print. If time allows, we’ll run as many prints as possible during the session.Print pickup can be arranged afterward if desired.

This orientation is perfect for anyone new to 3D printing or interested in using The MINT’s resin printers. After the class, all Mint Members will receive access to the printer reservation calendar. We hope to see you there!

** NOTE THAT THE DEMO WILL REQUIRE USING PPE - Safety gloves are provided and required to handle liquid resin and the printers. In addition, eye glasses/coverings are recommended and will be provided. If you require any specialized PPE, please reach out to discuss accommodations.***

This counts as an Orientation to Shop class for Mint Members.
