MEs take at least a course in it, and its a great course to take. you could probably audit it

across MEs, its also the most fun couple classes of the degree, since they build a skill other tha math - visuallizing objects in 2d and 3d at the same time, and guessing whats on the back side of drawings.

it will also inprove your sketches on paper, so they

a different option would be that if you know what you want, but cant be bothered to draw it beyond a sketch, you might actually want a small mill instead of a 3d printer.
