A Workshop on Prototyping for Product Development Using 3D Printing

05 February, 2022

A one-day workshop titled “Prototyping for Product Development Using 3D Printing” was organized by Mechanical Engineering Department under VGEC SSIP Cell. The main objective of this workshop was to make students have hands on practice of prototyping for product development using 3D printing technology. Different aspects of 3D printing such as model creation, selection of proper materials, importance of G-Code and M-code were explained. The students were trained on 3D slicing software such as Cura. The students learnt the operation of 3D printer and prepared a prototype.

Key features:

  • Expert: Prof. Dhaval B Patel, Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering Department.
