2022 RET Wrap-Up

The 2022 LAMDA Virtual RET was an online four-day training workshop that focused on both 3D modeling and 3D printing. Participants learned how to create 3D models of engineering parts using Solid Edge and print those 3D models using two 3D printing techniques, namely, fused deposition modeling (FDM) and digital light processing (DLP). The workshop also included basic demonstrations of both FDM & DLP and their workflow.
