What is STL Academy?

STL Academy was created with the goal of producing educational content focused on 3D printing. Currently, our YouTube channel features content such as Podcasts (STL Cast), Tutorials, Equipment and Material Reviews. Additionally, we offer the course ‘Fearless 3D Printing Method’, led by three highly recognized instructors in the 3D printing industry in Brazil: Hugo Lopes (HL3DMAKER), Murilo Laffranchi (3D Geek Show), and Bruno Boas (Founder of STLFLIX and CasaZ).

STL Academy is an educational initiative by STLFLIX, a content production company that provides high-quality 3D models for the global 3D printing community.
