What we’re about
Welcome to the Chicago 3D Printing Meetup Group! This group is for anyone interested in Computer Aided Design, 3D Modeling, and Tools for 3D printing. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn more about the technology or a seasoned pro wanting to network with like-minded individuals, this meetup is for you. Join us for workshops, hands-on demonstrations, and discussions about the latest advancements in the world of 3D printing. Let's come together to share our knowledge, ideas, and passion for this cutting-edge technology.
Types of meetups we host:
Hangouts
Hangouts are bar hangouts for use to meet regularly and talk shop. These will be on the first Wednesday of each month. I think for now this will be hosted at Sully's like the last design contest was.
Design Challenges
Design Challenges are meetups to motivated y'all to think out of your box and have a reason to try to design something new! We will come together the second month in each quarter on the 3th Wednesday of that month. To showcase our designs and talk about them. There are no topics picked yet, so please email me your ideas for topics for the four design challenges we will have this year!
I think this will also be hosted at Sully's until we find a better place to host
Talks
Talks are presentations over a given topic. I have setup two this year:
- Introduction into 3D printing - https://www.meetup.com/chicago-3d-printing-meetup-group/events/304775084/?eventOrigin=group_events_list
- Introduction into Parametric 3D modeling -https://www.meetup.com/chicago-3d-printing-meetup-group/events/304775124
These talks will be on the third Wednesday of months we do not have a design challenge.
Looking at the calendar, looks like we can have another talk as well if someone would like to give a talk in October , but that is really far away right now! So I will follow up on that later
