Video tutorial on the safe use of the 3D printer for making molds

3D printer introduces students to high-precision additive manufacturing using photopolymer resins. Through hands-on training, participants learn to prepare 3D models, operate resin printers, and post-process prints through washing and UV curing. This printer is essential for engineering, design, and biomedical applications, emphasizing both technical skills and safety protocols for working with UV-sensitive materials.
Students gain practical experience in rapid prototyping, micro-scale fabrication, and material selection, bridging digital design with physical production. The resin printers enable the creation of complex, high-resolution parts, including molds for microfluidic devices, which are unmatched by traditional filament-based 3D printing
