A 3-day workshop on 3D Printing Technology was successfully organized by the Mechanical & Mechatronics Engineering Department from July 01 to July 03, 2025. The objective of the workshop was to provide hands-on experience and technical knowledge to students about the additive manufacturing process and its applications in modern industry.
– To introduce students to the fundamentals of 3D printing.
– To familiarize them with various 3D printing techniques like FDM, SLA, and SLS.
– To provide practical exposure in slicing software and G-code generation.
– To print basic components and understand design constraints.
Day 1: (July 01, 2025)
– Inauguration Ceremony
– Introduction to Additive Manufacturing
– History and Evolution of 3D Printing
– Basics of solid work software
Day 2: (June 2, 2025)
– Overview of 3D Printer Components
– Demonstration of FDM Machine
– Slicing Software Introduction (e.g., Cura)
– Designing and Preparing Models for Printing
Day 3: (June 3, 2025)
– Hands-on Session: 3D Printing of Simple Objects
– Troubleshooting Common Printing Issues
– Applications of 3D Printing in Engineering.
– Test conduction & workshop Feedback.
Outcome of the Workshop
– Over 40 students from Mechanical, Computer science, Electronics & Computer science and Electrical branches actively participated.
– Students learned how to design model & convert it into 3D models.
– Each participant printed at least one basic part using 3D printer.
– The workshop sparked creativity and interest among students toward prototyping and design.
The 3-day workshop proved to be an enriching experience for all participants. It helped bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical implementation. The Department plans to organize more such events to keep students updated with the latest advancements in technology.
We sincerely thank our Principal, Dr. D.V.Ghewade, for his continuous support and encouragement. We also thank the Department of Mechanical & Mechatronics and the organizing faculty members for their tireless efforts in making this workshop a grand success.
Prof. A. S. Bhoi is worked as coordinator for this workshop
