Product Design: From Modeling to 3D Printing
A course by Agustín Arroyo, Designer and Maker
Learn how to give shape to your ideas by digitally modeling and 3D printing products from a commercial perspective
Want to learn how to shape your ideas and bring them to life as a 3D-printed product? Make it happen with product designer Agustín Arroyo, better known in the maker world as Flowalistik. He's collaborated with companies like Ultimaker, BCN3D, and Prusa Printers, creating end products, promo collections, and new designs.
In his previous courses, Agustín provides an Introduction to 3D Design and Printing and covers the ins and outs of 3D Printing and Design for Architecture Models. In this course, he takes things one step further and teaches you how to use 3D modeling programs for product fabrication and select the best materials based on their intended use and desired look. By the end, you'll know how to design and 3D print your own one-of-a-kind product, taking a business-oriented approach to the process.

What's included in this course?
Agustín Arroyo, better known as Flowalistik, kicks off the course by telling you about his professional career and how he got into 3D printing. He also talks about his biggest influences in the industry and gives you an overview of what's planned for the course.
Before you begin working on your project, find out why 3D printing is an attractive solution for custom product design and the advantages it has over traditional methods. Discover what the design process entails to help you plan out each step. Then, outline a product idea and start developing it in Autodesk Fusion 360.
Learn how to make a model using parametric design, which allows you to easily modify and enhance it as you go, before adding customizable features to give it personality.
See how to prepare and export your file for fabrication and choose which material you want to use for 3D printing. Agustín then shows you some advanced layering tricks in Ultimaker Cura to ensure you get an efficiently printed, quality product.
Find out how to assemble the final version and create renders of your product in Fusion 360. Finally, calculate the manufacturing costs for your pieces and explore some viable options for marketing your 3D-printed product.

Who is this online course for?
Industrial designers, engineers, or anyone interested in the world of 3D printing who wants to learn how to create their own commercial products using the latest technology.
Requirements and materials
Basic notions of 3D modeling in Autodesk Fusion 360 are recommended for this course, which you can learn alongside Agustín in Introduction to 3D Design and Printing, but are not essential.
As for materials, you need a computer, Windows or Mac, as well as the programs Autodesk Fusion 360 and Ultimaker Cura (for preparing your pieces before 3D printing them), both of which you can download for free. You also need access to a 3D printer, either your own or through a 3D printing service, and printing materials, which will depend on your final project.

A course by Agustín Arroyo
Agustín Arroyo, better known in the maker world as Flowalistik, is a product designer and educator who currently lives in Madrid, Spain. He's been passionate about creating new products since he was young; what he used to do with Legos, he now does with a computer and a 3D printer.
He's been working in digital manufacturing since 2013 and his creations are characterized by minimalist shapes, attention to detail, and, above all, functionality. He's collaborated with companies like Ultimaker, BCN3D, and Prusa Printers, creating end products, promo collections, and new designs. Most of his designs are free for download, meaning anyone with access to a 3D printer can make them.
