In this course you will design your very own spring butterfly and transform it step by step into a real work of art using a 3D printer.
You'll receive a basic butterfly shape that you can creatively develop further: with flowers, patterns, eyes, wing textures, or your own unique ideas. Your butterfly can be elegant, playful, wild, magical, or futuristic – exactly as you want it.
Day 1 – Design & Creativity
You design your own unique butterfly. You decide on shapes, patterns and details and develop your own design, which is then printed.
Day 2 – Finish & Transformation
Now your blank will become a true work of art:
– you remove the supporting structures
– you sand the surface smooth
– paint your butterfly with acrylic paints
– and you give it that final touch of magic with small details
You'll learn how to post-process 3D prints, experiencing the entire process from idea and design to the finished object. Witness how technology can transform something beautiful into something extraordinary.
