TinkerCAD software interface (PrintLab, n.d.)
3D modeling and printing is a process of designing and printing a 3-D object. This tool is best used when the desired object is intricate and specialised. This technology provides endless possibilities and has already been widely applied to biomaterials, architecture, food, and many more.
TinkerCAD is a free, online 3D modeling program that allows users to create 3D models of objects. It runs in a web browser that can be easily accessible for users of any experience level.
The process of 3D printing can be time-consuming. Therefore, it is important for designers to critically evaluate their design to maximise use of time and printing materials on the desired object.
