Make It Real: CAD & 3D Printing Workshop
Mechanical Lab, E4, Kulliyyah of Engineering, IIUM | Conducted by Ir. Amiro Iqbal bin Mohd Aminudin
A hands-on, one-day workshop where participants designed and 3D-printed their own fidget spinners — taking a project all the way from digital model to physical object. The session ran in two phases:
- 🖥️ Phase 1 — CAD Session: Participants built a 3D fidget spinner model from scratch at computer workstations, with step-by-step guidance suitable for complete beginners.
- 🖨️ Phase 2 — 3D Printing: In the Mechanical Lab, designs came to life through slicing software and live printing, then were assembled with bearings.
Breakfast, lunch, and a certificate of participation were provided for all attendees. Jointly organised by MAESA and the Mechanical (Maker & Cal) Club.
