We understand that you will have lots of questions about our courses, so below are answers to the questions we are frequently asked. If you have other questions please get in contact with us via email on info@lydnow.com or call on +91 97631 63833

1. What is a 3D printing course? What is 3D printing?

3D printing is a revolutionary manufacturing technology that has been around since the year 1984. It is an additive manufacturing technology where a three-dimensional object is created by adding consecutive fine layers of material.
This is opposite to the traditional reduction techniques where 3D objects were cut out of a larger block of material. 3D designing is the process of using computer-aided design(CAD) software to design the object that is to be manufactured and then the design is processed using a slicing software that breaks down the object into fine layers that the 3D printer would then print.
A 3D printing course would typically aim towards enhancing the students 3D designing abilities and further equip the student with essential know-how and skillset for using slicing software and 3D printers.

2. Where can I learn 3d printing? How do I start learning 3d printing?

A good way to start exploring 3D designing and 3D printing as a beginner is to start designing with free and easy online software like TinkerCAD.
Once you feel confident and are ready for higher levels of design challenges, transitioning to professional design software like Fusion 360 is advised.
One of the tricky things for a beginner is to get his/her hands on a 3D printer and learn the various aspects of 3D printing practically. Good quality desktop 3D printers cost anywhere between $400-$500 and print material cost would be extra.
A good solution is to enroll yourself in a local 3D designing course with an institute that has 3D printers available for you to explore. 3D printing courses do not cost a lot and one can look at the option of buying their 3D printer once they feel confident after experimentations at a 3D printing course.

3. How do you become a 3d printer designer?

Becoming a 3D printing professional requires good knowledge of mechanical engineering and a high level of skills with 3D CAD software like Autodesk Fusion 360.
One also needs a fair amount of experience with various 3D printing technologies like FDM, SLA, Laser Centering, and Polyjet.

4. How efficient is 3d printing?

3D printing technologies are way more efficient today than ever. 3D printing has found a variety of uses in the manufacturing industry.
From building fuel tanks for rockets to 3D printing entire houses, 3D printing technology is getting widely adopted due to the instant manufacturing abilities it provides.
In manufacturing 3D printing majorly utilized to manufacture complex parts that would otherwise be very expensive and time-consuming to build with traditional manufacturing technologies.

5. How much does it cost to 3d print?

The cost of 3D printing depends on a variety of factors.
The cost material being used for 3D printing is usually the highest component of the total cost of printing.
3D printing services also consider factors like electricity cost, printer depreciation cost, preparation, and post-processing costs while calculating the total cost of 3D printing your designs.

6. What materials can be 3d printed?

There are many options for material used for 3D printing depending on durability, flexibility, cost, etc.
The most commonly used materials are ABS and PLA followed by carbon fiber, nylon and flexible material like ninja flex

7. Is 3d printing harmful?

3D printing technologies as they exist today are safe. 3D printers today are built keeping in mind the correct conditions needed for 3D printing in fine quality as well as the user's safety.
3D printing filaments are now being produced increasingly with biodegradable material as against plastic.

8. How long 3d printing takes?

Time to 3D print depends majorly on the size, density, support structure of your 3D object while printing.
The most important factor while 3D printing which controls the speed of printing is the quality of your print. Fine quality prints take far more time than draft quality prints as they achieve very high-quality print resolutions.
The printing time may also vary depending on the 3D printing technology being employed.

9. Can I 3d print myself?

Yes and No. Yes if you would like to print a figurine version of your self. This requires an elaborate 3D scan of your physical body, some post-scan processing, and a high-resolution 3D printer to finally print.
You can not yet print biological organs of your body although great advancements are being made in 3D printing working biological organs.

10. Is there a demand for 3d printing?

3D printing is very much in demand technology owing to the ease of manufacturing complex parts and do rapid prototyping within a relatively shorter period.
Therefore, 3D Designing and 3D printing are very much in-demand skills too.

11. How are Lydnow's 3D printing courses helpful for beginners and professionals?

From designing and printing pen stands to complex drone frames the beginner courses make sure that students get all the necessary fundamental know-how of working with and maintaining desktop 3D printers.
The advanced 3D printing courses that Lydnow offers focus on developing CAD design skills with professional 3D design software that is used widely in the industry and also aims at equipping the students with necessary experience with various professional slicing software.
Students learn to control various aspects of their 3D prints to achieve the right balance of low cost, durable, efficient, and high-quality 3d print outputs. Students also learn to solve critical issues with 3D printers while handling them during the course.

Testimonials

I really appreciate the insight and exposure that was provided in robotics by the Lydnow team. They were always there for us,24*7,helped us whenever needed & be creative in doing our projects. I think every moment spent at Lydnow was wonderful & in specific attending as a team to IIT Mumbai techfest was the best. I am proud to be a LYDNOWIAN & would be happy to join any workshop or attend any courses further. Thanks a lot, Arijit sir for being what you are. You are the best teacher I have come across. I am indebted to all the instructors & trainers who patiently taught me & helped me to build projects.

Completed 5 levels of Robotics and Automation training

I am very satisfied with the quality of training at Lydnow Robotics. The way the kids are handled, boosts their imagination, logical thinking and confidence in them. Pratham has become more confident and has started thinking out of the box, always thinking of doing things differently and better. You guys are exceptionally great in training the kids. Hoping you keep doing the same magic with many more kids. All the best!
