From Digital Model to Your Own 3D Print: Practical Course at FabLab Bayreuth

How does a digital idea become a tangible object? The VHS course Introduction to 3D Printing Using Fused Deposition Modeling provides practical insights into the basics of FDM 3D printing on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. In the open high-tech workshop Upper Franconia, participants experience the process from the starting file format to the prepared printing process.

Technology Made Understandable and Directly Applicable

The evening begins with a clear introduction to what 3D printing can do and how the fused deposition modeling process works. It then covers the creation and preparation of a starting file. The event planning combines technical expertise with practical application – ideal for beginners who want to gain initial experiences in digital manufacturing.

Hands-On with the 3D Printer

The focus is on preparing the 3D printer. The course demonstrates the steps between the digital model and the finished object and how to properly prepare a printing process. A Bambu P1S with AMS will be used. Prior knowledge in 3D printing is not required; basic PC skills will help ease the entry.

Your First Print as a Conclusion

A feedback session and a joint conclusion round off the experience. The course becomes especially tangible with the first personal 3D print, which can be taken home afterward. The material costs for this print are already included in the ticket price.

Who is the VHS Course Suitable For?

The offer is aimed at adults, youths, and families aged 12 and above seeking to enter modern manufacturing technologies. The limited group size of a maximum of six people creates a focused learning atmosphere and allows for personal support during the practical exercises.
