General Information

What is the 3D Printing Summer Camp?
Our 3D Printing Summer Camp is a hands-on learning experience where kids will explore the exciting world of 3D printing and design. Over the course of a week, they will learn to create, slice, and print their own 3D designs while gaining a solid foundation in 3D printing technology.

Who is this camp for?
We offer two sessions each week:

• Morning Session (9 AM - 12 PM): Beginners (4th & 6th grade), focusing on Tinkercad for basic 3D design.

• Afternoon Session (1 PM - 4 PM): Intermediate (7th - 12th grade), focusing on Fusion 360 for more advanced design skills.

Where is the camp located?
At the 3DPmom Lab located at Palomar Forum Business Park in Carlsbad, CA.

Address: 3132 Tiger Run Ct, Suite 110, Carlsbad, CA 92010

When does the camp run?
The camp runs 5 days (Monday-Friday), you can sign up for any week that fits your summer schedule the best. You can also sign up for one or more weeks based on availability.

What is the cost of the camp?
The price per child per week is $325. Discounts may be available for siblings or multiple weeks—please contact us for details.

Curriculum & Learning Experience

What will my child learn?

• How to design 3D models using Tinkercad (beginners) or Fusion 360 (intermediate).

• How to export, slice, and prepare files for 3D printing.

• How to operate a 3D printer safely and troubleshoot common issues.

• The basics of 3D printing materials and settings.

• How to bring their own creative ideas to life through 3D design.

How many projects will my child complete?
Each child will complete multiple projects, including a custom name tag for their lanyard, small functional objects, and a final creative design of their choice. Our goal is to complete a 3D printed object for each student to take home at the end of every class day.

Do they need any prior experience?
No prior experience is required! The camp is designed for beginners and those with some exposure to 3D printing who want to refine their skills.

What equipment will my child use?
We provide everything needed, including Bambu Lab 3D printers, computers, filament, and supplies. Your child does not need to bring any equipment.
