      <title>Rapid Prototyping Orientation - FDM 3D Printing (06/11/2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://rutlandmint.org/resources/Pictures/FDM%203D%20Printing.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INTRODUCTION TO 3D PRINTING- FDM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us at The MINT for a brief orientation on FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This session covers the different rapid prototyping technologies and a brief history, focusing on FDM 3D printing and how printers work today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We’ll review printer parts, safety basics, common printing techniques, and best practices. You’ll also learn where to find design files, how slicing software works, and what settings to focus on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The session wraps up with a demo using PrusaSlicer, showing the full process from STL (model) file to print.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Time permitting, prints will be started during the class, with pickup available if desired.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This orientation is ideal for anyone new to 3D printing or looking to use The MINT’s FDM printers. Attendees will receive access to the printer reservation calendar after the session.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INTRO TO CAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for a beginner-friendly introduction to Computer-Aided Design (CAD)!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this course, you'll learn the basics of CAD terminology, explore the different types of CAD software, and get a brief look at its history and real-world uses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We’ll be working with Onshape, a modern cloud-based CAD program, to reverse-engineer a simple cap-shaped object. The class includes about one hour of guided instruction followed by a hands-on Onshape demo where you’ll create your own design.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;If time allows, we may even 3D-print some of the designs made in class. We’re excited to have you join us!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This week-long, full-day camp offers a hands-on introduction to the art of ceramics, where students will master foundational hand-building techniques including pinch pots, coil-building, and slab construction. Throughout the week, campers will learn to manipulate raw clay into both imaginative sculptures—such as monsters and gnomes—and functional household items like planters, trays, and plates. Participants will develop essential motor skills and tool proficiency while exploring structural techniques to build height and strength in their work. We will also dive into surface design by using found objects like leaves and stamps to press unique textures into the clay, finally concluding the camp with an introduction to underglazes, where students will learn to apply decorative details and vibrant color to their custom creations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;INTRODUCTION TO 3D PRINTING- FDM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us at The MINT for a brief orientation on FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This session covers the different rapid prototyping technologies and a brief history, focusing on FDM 3D printing and how printers work today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We’ll review printer parts, safety basics, common printing techniques, and best practices. You’ll also learn where to find design files, how slicing software works, and what settings to focus on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The session wraps up with a demo using PrusaSlicer, showing the full process from STL (model) file to print.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Time permitting, prints will be started during the class, with pickup available if desired.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This orientation is ideal for anyone new to 3D printing or looking to use The MINT’s FDM printers. Attendees will receive access to the printer reservation calendar after the session.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We hope to see you there!&lt;/p&gt;

Each day will be filled with making art in both glass fusing and mosaics! We'll work together on a variety of hands-on activities that will involve learning how to cut glass, creating fused glass items like sun-catchers and learning mosaic techniques to create different kinds of mosaics (including garden stakes) throughout the week. This camp is intended for campers who will be able to attend all 5 days. All the activities build on skills learned the day before. Also, all projects will take more than one day to complete. Friday will be our grouting day so come in clothes that can get dirty!&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Get ready for a week of fun: creativity, innovation, and friendship!
