Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) is revolutionizing how we design, develop, and deploy physical systems. By depositing material layer-by-layer, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) enables rapid prototyping, cost reduction, and complex geometric designs that are impossible with traditional subtractive manufacturing.
This 2-day intensive training workshop will take participants from the theoretical foundations of 3D printing to practical, hands-on application. Under the guidance of science and technology research specialists, you will learn to navigate the 3D printer ecosystem, prepare models, resolve complex prints, and manufacture prototypes.
Understand mechanics, materials (PLA, PETG, ABS), and extrusion principles.
Master infills, wall loops, support parameters, and orientation strategies.
Operate, calibrate, and troubleshoot state-of-the-art Bambu Lab 3D printers.
Follow our structured path from core fundamentals to independent custom device prototyping.
National Anthem, Invocation Prayer, Bagong Pilipinas Hymn, CSU Hymn, and DOST Hymn.
Opening addresses inspiring the participants on the potential of manufacturing transformation.
Overview of AMCen's mission, national facilities, research programs, and ecosystem support.
Networking and coffee refreshments.
Core theory, historical trajectory, printing types, physical material filaments (PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU) and process limitations.
Complimentary lunch served for registered attendees.
Detailed exploration of FDM mechanics, coordinate movement, heated build plates, extruder designs, and speed properties.
Live physical inspection of the Bambu Lab printers. Understanding touchscreens, filament path, extruder assembly, heatbeds, and cameras.
Short recess before hands-on activities.
Practical operation where participants calibrate print beds, configure AMS multi-filament loading, and initiate sample test prints.
Reflecting on Day 1 topics and addressing technical questions regarding FDM filaments and calibration methods.
Interactive summary of printer calibration, mechanical parts of FDM, and setup protocols.
Detailed walk-through of Bambu Studio settings. Preparing CAD files (STL, OBJ, STEP), configuring infills, rafts, brims, supports, and layer heights.
Short recess for snacks and networking.
Participants slice their individual custom models, configuring infill configurations and custom multi-color layers in Bambu Studio.
Refueling break before starting actual 3D print executions.
Sending sliced models to printers via Wi-Fi/SD. Launching live printing, monitoring layer adhesion, speed control, and physical print execution.
Networking and final checks of physical prints.
Removing print supports, sanding surfaces, diagnosing common failure issues (stringing, warping, layer shifts) and improving quality metrics.
Evaluating printed physical items. Group review, design critiques, and verification of mechanical tolerances.
Presentation of completion and speaker certificates. Closing messages and plans for next-stage prototyping.
Learn from specialized research engineers and education pioneers who lead the regional Maker movement.
