Curious about 3D printing but unsure where to begin? This two-hour introductory workshop is designed to guide you through the fundamentals of both FDM (filament-based) and resin 3D printing, helping you understand the differences, benefits, and limitations of each technology.

Led by prop artist and experienced designer Dan Baines, the session will provide a clear overview of the equipment, materials, and processes involved — with practical advice on what to buy, how to stay safe, and how to avoid costly beginner mistakes.

Whether you're interested in creating miniatures, prototypes, or artistic props, this workshop offers a solid foundation to help you make informed decisions before investing in your setup.

In this workshop, I will cover -

  • Overview of FDM and resin printing technologies

  • Recommended hardware and essential tools

  • Basic software and file preparation

  • Health and safety considerations

  • Realistic costs and maintenance requirements

  • Common issues and troubleshooting tips

  • An introduction to 3D scanning and how it can enhance your creative workflow

Ideal for beginners, hobbyists, educators, and anyone considering 3D printing as part of their creative practice or professional work.

If you have any question please contact me.
