CAD & 3D Printing Summer @ De Anza College
Summer Academy at De Anza College:
Welcome - This page has links and resources for students in the summer course in the DMT Dept. The course is project based and will cover the fundamentals of CAD & 3D Printing also know in industry as Additive Manufacturing or just AM. We use CAD and various stereolithography (STL) slicing software to explore the technology for consumer and industrial applications. Prepare for a fun guided tour into the future of design with AM.
