Hosted at the Floor 7 Frontier Tower Makerspace

​Blender isn’t usually the first software people think of for 3D printing—but it should be. Behind its animation, sculpting, and VFX reputation lies one of the most powerful, flexible, and underrated modeling tools for creating precise, high-quality, print-ready designs.

​This free hands-on class at the Makerspace will show you how to turn Blender into a practical 3D modeling platform for rapid prototyping, creative exploration, and manufacturing small objects like keychains, miniatures, functional parts, and more.

​Whether you're a maker, designer, engineer, hobbyist, or just curious, you’ll walk away with a repeatable workflow for creating beautiful, clean, printable models.

🎉 Special for This Class: Limited NFT Drop (POAP)

​Everyone who attends will receive a limited-edition digital collectible — a POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol) token featuring the class mascot Blenderbloom FT-7.

​This POAP serves as a digital badge proving you were part of the very first Frontier Tower 3D Printing Workshop.

​ Only in-room attendees will be able to mint it.

​What You’ll Learn
​1. Non-Destructive Workflows

​Understand the design philosophy of using modifiers to build complex shapes without damaging your base mesh. Learn how to stay flexible, iterate faster, and experiment freely.

​2. Essential Add-Ons for 3D Printing

​A curated list of add-ons that make Blender significantly easier to use for print prep. Includes BlenderKit and other tools for cleaning geometry, precision modeling, and mesh validation.

​3. Download, Hack, and Remix Models

​Learn how to quickly source free models, edit them, and turn anything into a custom keychain or functional print. A perfect intro to kitbashing and rapid prototyping.

​4. Fix Your Models for Clean Printing

​Mesh cleanup, manifold checks, boolean repairs, normals, holes, thickness — all the essentials to ensure your designs survive the slicer and print successfully.

​Who This Class Is For
​This is not a total-beginner class, but you don’t need to be a Blender expert either.
If you’ve used any 3D design tool (or even a 2D tool like Photoshop/Illustrator), you’ll be able to follow along comfortably.

​What to Bring
​Any laptop (does not need to be high-performance)

​Latest version of Blender installed

​BlenderKit pre-installed: https://www.blenderkit.com/

​A mouse — strongly recommended for your sanity
