Veritas Prism Workshop
A full-day, hands-on workshop covering professional 3D printing tools, design principles, printable mechanisms, and the frontier of generative CAD. You'll leave with a printed enclosure for your own hypothetical product.
Most 3D printing tutorials stop at "load the STL, hit slice, hit print." This workshop starts where those leave off — teaching you to design with intention, understand the machine's real capabilities, and build parts that couldn't exist any other way.
Full Curriculum
A ground-up overview of the hardware and software stack professionals actually use. Printers, slicers, design tools, and material selection — what matters and why.
Learn the constraints and freedoms of additive manufacturing. Wall thickness, overhangs, tolerances, layer orientation, and supports — design decisions that determine whether your part succeeds or fails.
Joints, hinges, snap-fits, living hinges, gears, and compliant mechanisms — built and printed in the workshop. Learn what moves, what flexes, and what locks.
Parts with internal channels, lattice structures, interlocked assemblies that emerge from the printer whole, and geometries no mill or mold can touch. Rethink what manufacturing means.
Apply everything. Model, iterate, and print the enclosure for your hypothetical product. You'll leave with a real printed part and the process to make more.
The newest frontier in design tooling. AI-assisted topology optimisation, constraint-driven form generation, and organic structures that perform better and weigh less.
Hands-On Project
The capstone of the day. Design and print a functional enclosure for a hypothetical product — applying tolerances, ports, mounting, and finishing decisions you've learned throughout the workshop.
What You'll Walk Away With
Know which tools matter in the industry, how they connect, and how to build an efficient workflow around them.
Understand why parts fail and how to design around every constraint additive manufacturing presents.
A mental library of joints, snaps, and compliant mechanisms ready to deploy in your next project.
Recognise opportunities where 3D printing enables geometry and assemblies that traditional manufacturing cannot.
Hands-on introduction to topology optimisation and AI-assisted form generation — one of the fastest growing skills in product design.
A real printed part you designed yourself. Proof of process — and a starting point for your next iteration.
Who Should Attend
Prerequisites
We start from the ground up. If you've touched a 3D printer or opened a CAD tool before, you're ahead of the curve — but neither is required.
Module 06
Traditional CAD asks you to specify every dimension. Generative CAD asks you to specify goals — loads, constraints, material limits — and generates the geometry that meets them.
The result: lighter parts, stronger structures, and organic shapes that no human would draw but that perform better than anything they could. This is where product design is going, and you'll get hands-on with it.
