ART103: Silkscreen Printing SBU
Have you ever wanted to make your own custom silkscreened T-shirts?
TechShop makes silkscreening easy by using vinyl stencils rather than photo-emulsion.
In this hands-on class, you'll learn all the basics of silkscreen printing. Your instructor will guide you through the process, including preparing a vinyl stencil, transferring it onto a screen, using the screen to apply ink to fabric and heat setting the ink.
If you'd like to print a T-shirt using your own artwork, please bring a simple black and white drawing to use for your design. You're welcome to bring more than one design so the instructor can help you choose which one to use. Only one screen will be created during class. Simple is best; you will be cutting the design by hand!
If you have already taken TechShop's Vinyl Cutter SBU class, you may bring in a pre-cut design to transfer onto your screen. Be sure not to weed your design; we'll all do this together in class.
Once you take and successfully pass this class, you can use this equipment for your projects whenever you work at TechShop as a member!

AUD009: Autodesk Inventor for Mold Design
Injection mold design and manufacturing can be one of the most expensive and time consuming processes in manufacturing and prototyping. But it doesn't have to be.
Autodesk Inventor has a number of incredible software tools that make designing complex parts much easier. The feature-rich mold design section covered in this class is one of them.
In this class, the instructor will cover several tools that are available to automate key aspects of injection mold design and testing.
- Learn how parts modeled in Inventor can be used to automatically generate an efficient mold.
- Learn how Inventor ensure that any changes to the digital model are automatically reflected in your mold design.
When you are done with your design, the file can be exported to a variety of different CAM (computer aided manufacturing) packages to generate the code needed to machine your mold on equipment such as TechShop's CNC Tormach mill. Once you've machined your mold it can be used to manufacture parts on TechShop's Morgan Press injection molding machine.
This class is a fantastic way to do in-house rapid prototyping and can help you cut down on the number of iterations needed before you have a working final mold ready for production on any scale.

CNC310: CAD/CAM Software - InventorCAM
InventorCAM is the next level CAM program offered by TechShop, supporting multiple-axis machining, both 2.5D and 3D feature cut path generation, and high levels of control over the cutting paths generated. It has the powerful benefit of being directly embedded into Autodesk Inventor so users can easily switch back to creating or adjusting their part and the toolpaths automatically reflecting the changes.
InventorCAM's highly intuitive user interface allows toolpath generation to be as simple or as complex as users want it to be, with equal level of control over the geometry and makeup of cutting tools. It is the optimum tool for the intermediate to advanced TechShop CNC machinist.
In this class, students will follow the instructor step by step in creating toolpaths for half of a feature-rich part, then solidify their knowledge by creating the toolpaths for the other half with instructor guidance.
Prerequisites: In order to get the most out of this class, we recommend that students be familiar with TechShop's first-level CAM programs from Vectric: VCarve and Cut3D as well as have experience using the Tormach or the ShopBot. Introductory topics such as feeds and speeds, zeroing machines appropriately according to defined zeros in the CAM program, workholding, and loading exported toolpaths into the machines will not be reviewed.

CNC401: CNC Waterjet Cutter SBU - Level 4
The Flow waterjet cutter is one of the most powerful tools in TechShop's arsenal. Using a high pressure stream of water mixed with abrasive garnet, the machine cuts precise shapes, lines and curves out of a wide variety of materials. It can cleanly cut through almost any flat material, including all kinds of metal, wood, glass, tile, marble, granite and more. It will cut the thinnest sheet metal as well as materials up to a foot thick. It creates no heat, so materials like stainless steel, glass and stone that are usually damaged by heat are unaffected by waterjet cutting.The only common material it won't cut is tempered glass, although it works well on regular glass.
The bed of the machine is large enough to take full sheets of material, but see your local store for details. The cutting flow is only 0.050" inches in diameter or less, so there very little waste.
In this class, you will spend two hours in the computer lab, learning how to use Flow Path software to prepare cutting files for the machine. The classroom session is followed by two hours, in the shop, using the waterjet. Once you have taken the class, you will be cleared to operate one of the most versatile machines in the shop.
Please note: When using the Flow jet, a consumables fee will be charged. You are only charged for cutting time, not setup time. The waterjet cuts quickly, and the fee charged is very reasonable. You can check the fee before cutting.
Prerequisite: Ability to create vector files with a drawing program. Basically, if you can use the laser cutter, you can use the waterjet cutter.
CAD to CAM experience or classes help, but is not required; the Flow jet uses proprietary software for CAD to CAM.
Once you take and successfully pass this class, you can use this equipment for your projects whenever you work at TechShop as a member!

Please bring the Barebones Arduino board you built in the Arduino Part 1 class, the BUB board and a laptop with the Arduino software and drivers pre-installed. The software may be downloaded from Arduino Software. If you do not have a laptop, call your TechShop store to see if there is a computer for rent, or if the class will take place in a computer lab.
In this class, you will learn how to use an Arduino in simple projects. We will cover programming and the simple electronics need to connect an Arduino to switches, dials, brightness, temperature and other sensors; and to lights, motors and other output devices. The three hours will switch between instruction, hands-on and some free time.
This is a fast track class for people who want to add simple automation to their projects. Example programs will be provided. You can cut and paste from the examples to start writing your own programs.
The class fee includes a breadboard, switch, sensors, motor, LEDs and various electronic components.
Prerequisites: You must have an Arduino that can be used with a breadboard, that is, with male headers pointing down in the power rail and "front" edge holes (A0, RST, GND, +5, digital 0-13, and GND). You can either use the board you built in first class - Part 1 Building a BBB , or you can buy a pre-built and tested board from Modern Device. Make sure to tell them to use downward facing male headers for the front edge holes.
If you bring your own laptop, you MUST pre-download and install the Arduino software and drivers.
There are a few laptops for rent at the Detroit store; please reserve ahead by calling the Front Desk.
You must make arrangements for a computer before signing up for the class - either be able to bring a laptop, or call the store for assistance.

FAB106: Sandblasting and Powder Coating SBU
Powder coating is a durable, simple to apply, easy to clean up, product. It is inexpensive, and more environmentally friendly than paint, as it has no VOCs and no solvents are used. The final product is more durable than paint, and powder is available in many colors and finish types. The parts must be baked at about 400 degrees for 15 minutes, so it will not work on magnetic items, or anything with grease in the part, like bearings.
In this Safety and Basic Use class, you will learn how to use a cabinet sandblaster to prepare a small metal part, clean and coat it with powder, and then bake it on in the powder coat oven.
After the class, you will be cleared to use the sandblasting cabinet, powder coating gun, powder spray booth and powder coating oven.
The sand blaster can be used on metal, wood, glass, mirror, plastics and almost any material that is rigid. It will remove paint, rust and mill scale, as well as cleaning welds. There is only time in class for sandblasting steel and aluminum parts.
The sandblast cabinet and powder coating oven are large enough for motorcycle frames, bicycles and many other bulky items. Please visit your local TechShop and check the oven size if you have a specific project in mind.
Because of possible shock (high voltage, low amperage) with a powder coating gun, members with a pacemaker, or any voltage sensitive medical equipment are not allowed to take this course or use the equipment.
Once you take and successfully pass this class, you can use this equipment for your projects whenever you work at TechShop as a member!

TXL204: Digitizer CNC Embroiderer Software
Pop your knowledge of the digitizing process and quickly start having fun printing your own art in thread.
Join us for this lecture class where we'll have fun covering many aspects of this feature-rich, digitizing software package by Janome. This software supports a variety of embroidery machines, including the Janome and the Brother.
If you're new to digitizing (creating machine embroidery stitches from 2D artwork), this is a great place to start. We'll discuss aspects of digitizing to be aware of when printing with thread;
teach you how to work with existing art as well as digitize your own objects, including shapes and text; introduce you to features you can use to control the sew-out of your designs and more.
This two-hour class is all about the software and is likely to save you weeks of exploring on your own. It does not include any time with the CNC Embroidery Machine; it is software only.
Recommendation: For hands-on demos of actual embroidering, including how to hoop and the handling of stabilizer, take the CNC Embroiderer SBU. There's a slight advantage to taking the SBU before this class, but it's not required.

WLD102: MIG Welding SBU
In this Safety and Basic Use (SBU) class, you will learn how to use a basic MIG welding equipment setup with solid wire and shielding gas to create a quality weld bead on mild steel under 1/4" thick.
MIG (metal inert gas) welding -- also called GMAW (gas metal arc welding) and wire feed welding -- is a semi-automatic method of welding, using a solid wire and shielding gas. With some equipment changes, MIG welding can be used for a small variety of different metals, such as stainless steel and aluminum. Many MIG welding machines can also run a tubular, flux cored wire that does not require a shielding gas (called flux cored arc welding, or FCAW).
For your safety, you must wear long pants and a long-sleeved shirt in natural fibers in the Hot Shop, and remember to always wear closed-toed shoes at TechShop.
If it has been at least 9 months since you took this class and you have not used the machine since then, you must re-take the SBU, which is offered at half price if you successfully passed the first SBU. Anyone can re-take any SBU at TechShop that they have previously taken and passed for half price. Please sign up with the front desk in order to ensure this special price.

So, you've taken the Basic Sewing Machine Safety and Basic Use (SBU) class. Now how do you start making your own custom fit clothing and costumes? By reading a pattern of course!
In this class, we will explore everything you need to know to get started sewing from a pattern. You'll learn how to pick and read a pattern, accurately take measurements, as well as cutting, piecing and ways of sewing to preserve your fingers and get the shape you want. You will get to choose one of the apron patterns and fabric provided by us, lay out your pattern, cut it out and sew it on any sewing machine for which you have passed the Safety and Basic Use class.

WKS867: CookingHacks: e-Health Sensor Platform for Arduino (exhibition)
The e-Health Sensor Shield allows Arduino and Raspberry Pi users to perform biometric and medical applications where body monitoring is needed by using 9 different sensors: pulse, oxygen in blood (SPO2), airflow (breathing), body temperature, electrocardiogram (ECG), glucometer, galvanic skin response (GSR - sweating), blood pressure (sphygmomanometer) and patient position (accelerometer).
In this exhibition, we will show how to use this platform as a quick proof of concept and the basis of a new era of open source medical products. We will use non-invasive sensors to monitor people and will show how to read the data in the PC to share it in the Cloud.

WKS519: Pewter Drop Casting Workshop
Since the 11th century, pewter has been cast into objects of utility and beauty. An alloy of tin and copper, pewter is relatively malleable, and its soft sheen provides an elegant contrast to the steel which surrounds us today.
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn to make a mold and cast a small part using molten pewter. You will first create a plaster mold blank that can be carved using hand tools or any other carving instrument. Next, you will hand carve a simple part or design and will learn various other techniques such as using modeling clay or copying an existing piece. Finally, you will melt the pewter and make your casting to create a pendant, key fob, piece of jewelry, or small part.
Workshop length: 2 hours. Cost: $50 including materials fee.
