Who will be teaching?
Richard (he/him) is an enthusiastic hobby maker. He has been a software engineer for over 15 years and has interests in emerging technologies and their applications. He has known about 3D printing for some time, but only started to get hands on a year ago.
Richard has printed small sculptures, unique organisation gadgets and other random knick knacks. Since starting out he has learned a lot -tried and tested – and would like to pass some of this knowledge on, as he sees the limitless potential for this technology.
