Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this shoemaking class:

In this two-day course, instructor Curtis Schmitt will take students through the 3d modeling process to create the base heel. Once that has been modeled, each student can then divert off into executing their design ideas utilizing additive and/or subtractive techniques being careful to avoid changing the necessary interfaces for the component to actually work. At the end of class, we will also go through how to send the file to the 3D printers like Shapeways, and learn about terminology and requirements from the printer's website.

Requirements:
  • Each student will need to bring their own laptop with their own copy of Rhino installed (trials are good for up to 30 days so if you are going to be using a trial version, we suggest that they don't install it until within at most two weeks of the class).
  • PCs and Macs are both welcome, there are interface / feature differences, but they're minimal in the context of this type of 3d modeling.
  • Instructor will be demonstrating on a 27" iMac. 

Refund Policy

All classes and workshops are non-transferable and non-refundable.
