This course introduces woodworkers to the practical use of 3D printing in the shop, from setup to creating custom jigs and hardware solutions. You’ll start with the basics—what level of tech skills you need, how to install software, and how to get your printer running. Ben walks through materials, filaments, and essential tools before moving into projects that highlight the real benefits of 3D printing for woodworking. Along the way, you’ll download and print ready-made shop helpers, then step into Fusion 360 for simple, custom designs like mortising jigs, bowtie inlay templates, and dust collection adapters. With projects ranging from dovetail markers to hinge templates, the course gives you instructions for building off-the-shelf models as well as the confidence to design and create your own tools. By the end, you’ll know how to integrate 3D printing into your woodworking workflow to solve problems, save time, and expand your creative options.

You will learn:

• The 3D printing equipment and software you’ll need to get started
• Where to find premade printable files you can download and print right away
• How to take Ben’s downloadable Fusion 360 files and modify them to create the exact templates you need
