Turn 3D Printed Objects Into Cast Bronze

Combine 3D printing with lost-wax investment casting techniques! Multisession Duration: 7 hrs completed over 3 days. By purchasing a ticket, you are committing to attend all meetings included in the multisession. Scroll down to reference the Agenda page to indicate which ticket to purchase for that session! Class Description In this three day class, we’ll dive into the worlds of 3D printing and casting. We’ll discuss how to make and find 3D files online, then 3D print them in PLA filament and on a Form 3 resin printer. On days two and three, we’ll prepare our objects with wax sprues, mix investment in flasks with our objects, run an overnight burnout in a kiln, and cast them in ancient bronze. Students will take home their cast bronze objects, which could include rings, animals, topographical features, miniature scenes, or anything you can dream up! This class is intended for everyone - from folks without 3D printing or casting experience, to people with more experience in either discipline. The materials fee for this class is $30. This is separate from the ticket price and is to reimburse the instructor for any tools or materials used in this class. This will be paid once, directly to the instructor at the start of the first class meeting. This instructor accepts Venmo.
