RAPDASA 2016 is here, and Morgan 3D Printers are here and ready to participate. The annual conference brings together all the serious players in the local additive manufacturing landscape, and looks at ways to promote the technology in the South African economy.
This year the event is at the Science and Technology center of the Vaal University of Technology, Vereeninging.
It is easy to get involved in the exciting world of 3D printing. The internet is full of free resources, training videos and interesting things to get you going. All you need to do is take that that first step and have an idea. Come to think of it, you can even skip the idea part and print someone else’s ideas until you have the confidence to make your own ideas come to life.
COMPETITION – Get your 3D model printed for Free
Morgan 3D Printers want you to dip your toe into our world and experience the excitement of 3D printing. It is because of this that we are running a monthly competition, open to everyone, where one lucky person will have the opportunity to have their idea printed for free, every month.
This is how it works:
Save your idea (or someone else’s) in either a .stl or .obj file format
On the last Monday of the month we will pick the winner and we will print the winner’s design on the last Tuesday of the month.
