3D Modeling & 3D Printing Classes
Transform creative ideas into tangible physical reality using industry-grade software and multi-color 3D printing technology.
Bridging Fine Art & Modern Industrial Technology
At 370 Art Studios, we equip students with skills used by product designers, digital sculptors, and industrial engineers worldwide. Located in Palisades Park, our 3D Modeling & 3D Printing program combines artistic expression with real-world spatial technology, turning 2D concepts into physical, multi-color prototypes.
Whether preparing a stand-out design supplement for college admissions or exploring industrial prototyping, students learn the exact digital workflow used in contemporary creative industries.
The Complete Digital Pipeline: From Sketch to Physical Object
Students master a seamless, step-by-step design workflow using modern software tools:
-
Step 1: Concept & Storyboarding (Procreate): Sketching initial 2D ideas, silhouette studies, and turnarounds on digital tablets.
-
Step 2: Intuitive Digital Sculpting (Nomad Sculpt): Building complex 3D forms, organic character details, and fluid shapes on portable touch interfaces.
-
Step 3: Precision Topology & Retopology (Autodesk Maya): Cleaning digital geometry, refining hard-surface structural components, and preparing production-ready 3D files.
-
Step 4: Industrial Slicing & Multi-Color Printing (Bambu Studio): Setting layer heights, support structures, filament density, and multi-color print paths to bring digital models to life on multi-material 3D printers.
3D Printing Summer Camp & Year-Round Skill Building
Our acclaimed 3D Printing Summer Camp and weekly studio tracks give students hands-on experience with how additive manufacturing operates across modern engineering, architecture, and entertainment industries.
-
Tangible College Supplements: Stand out in admissions for Pratt, RISD, CMU, NYU, and Ivy League engineering/art programs by submitting physical, fabricated design prototypes.
-
Spatial & Engineering Thinking: Develop critical problem-solving, structural mechanics, tolerance testing, and design-thinking mindsets.
-
No Prior 3D Experience Needed: Our 1-on-1 mentorship accommodates complete beginners through advanced digital sculptors.
Frequently Asked Questions
About 3D Modeling & Printing
Q: Does my child need their own 3D printer or software licenses to take this class?
A: No. We provide fully equipped workstations, high-precision multi-color 3D printers, software access, and all printing filaments inside our studio.
Q: How does 3D printing help with college admissions?
A: Top universities value candidates who demonstrate cross-disciplinary skills. Combining artistic sculpting with physical manufacturing demonstrates advanced problem-solving, product design aptitude, and technical literacy.
3D Model with Nomad
Adobe After Effects is a professional software used for creating motion graphics and visual effects for video, film, and animation. It allows users to animate text, add special effects, composite multiple video layers, and create cinematic transitions.
Refine 3D Model with Autodesk Maya
Understanding the 3D-program is extremely hard.
Not to scare off people away, but this is due to the heavy load of work and time we have to put down in order to make a single piece.
We have diluted the College Level course into a easier curriculum so students of Highschool and up can create their own dream in 3D space.
