Research Platforms is holding a 3D modelling Shark’s Den challenge: We will teach you the tools to build, design and 3D print products. You will have the opportunity to be as creative and innovative as you want - find something you are really passionate about, design it, 3D print it, and share it with others at the 2015 3D Printing Showcase on October 9th and 10th. You can design anything from 3D DNA structures, to car parts, trees, flowers, houses…the list goes on. You will have the opportunity to talk about your design, share your passion with like-minded people, and get rewarded for all the hard work you have put into your design.

Some of the 3D printing and CAD training Resbaz has done over the past 12 months has contributed towards researchers and entrepreneurs developing some truly innovative products. Check out the team below who have managed to build their own bionic hand!

The course Research Platforms is running is held on every Wednesday for 4 weeks in July. Each class is a 2-hour block where you will learn to use Tinkercad, form a team, and come up with ideas while being mentored by experts. Each team will have a mentor, CEO, technical expert, researcher and marketer. At the end of the 4 weeks, each team will make business presentations to a panel of “sharks” and the winner team will have the opportunity to present their design at the 2015 3D Printing Showcase. Specific information about the event can be viewed here.

This event is a great opportunity for beginners to get involved and experts to improve their skills. The great reward in the end is FREE attendance to the seminar and an opportunity to present your work to people who will really appreciate it, not to mention the networking opportunities with like-minded people! The Shark’s den will be held mainly in the engineering workshop, therefore fully enclosed footwear must be worn at all times.
