You don't need experience to start making
San Diego has always been a city of builders, tinkerers, and dreamers. If you've been curious about 3D printing but feel like it's too technical to get started, Dreaming3D was built with you in mind. Their tutoring curriculum meets you exactly where you are.
Start with the basics
Learn how FDM and resin printers work, what materials to choose, and how to load your first print — no prior knowledge needed.
Design your first model
Get introduced to beginner-friendly tools like Tinkercad and Fusion 360. Start simple — a keychain, a phone stand, a custom nameplate.
Print, refine, repeat
Learn to troubleshoot common issues, dial in settings, and iterate on your designs until you're proud of what you're making.
Level up your skills
Ready to go further? Advanced sessions cover multi-material prints, post-processing, and even selling your designs online.
Perfect for San Diego makers
Whether you're building cosplay armor for Comic-Con, creating spare parts for a vintage car, printing custom fishing lures for a day out on the bay, or prototyping your next big product idea — Dreaming3D has the tools, the filament, and the expertise to help you pull it off.
Sparking the next generation of innovators
Kids are natural builders — and 3D printing might just be the most magical tool they'll ever get their hands on. Dreaming3D offers age-appropriate classes designed to make learning feel like play.
🧡 Kids & family workshops
Dreaming3D's youth sessions introduce children (ages 7 and up) to design thinking and basic 3D modeling in a safe, encouraging environment. Kids get to design and print something they can take home — a toy, a figurine, a gift for mom or dad. It's hands-on, screen-time that actually teaches real-world skills, and it's genuinely fun. Parents are welcome to join and learn alongside their kids.
STEM enrichment
Sessions align with STEM concepts taught in school — geometry, engineering, and problem-solving come alive in 3D.
Creative expression
Kids design and print their own creations — no cookie-cutter templates. Their imagination leads the way.
Birthday & group events
Looking for a unique party idea? A Dreaming3D workshop makes for an unforgettable birthday experience in San Diego.
