This crash course teaches the fundamentals of Blender with a focus on workflows for 3D printing and laser cutting. It covers setting up the workspace for millimeter precision, basic 3D navigation, object manipulation, and mesh editing techniques. The curriculum introduces practical tools like the CAD Transforms add-on for precise modeling, modifiers, and vertex groups.

Students work through hands-on projects, including designing a pencil pot and a keyring, while learning to import, edit, and repair STL files. The course also demonstrates how to export SVG files for laser cutting and provides a brief introduction to setting up basic scenes with lights, cameras, materials, and animations.
