These pictures show some examples of 3D models drawn in Onshape.
Experiencing your design in the real world using AR before it is manufactured.
Experiencing your design in the real world using AR before it is manufactured.
AR (augmented reality) lets you take any 3D model and experience it within the real environment. This allows us to test and 'experience' a design to some degree before any resources are used for manufacture.
Scan this QR code to see the lamp design on the left using AR. You may be able to use AR to test your own lamp model once you have drawn it in Onshape.

Once you have Finished your 3D model and had it checked by your teacher, Click on the botton to see how to export your files ready to manufacture
For this project you will use the 3D modelling application called Onshape. You can sign up for a free education account at the webpage www.onshape.com/edu * you must use your school e-mail.
There are videos below that will guide you through the process of making an account.
Creating an onshape account
Creating an onshape account
The first stage of starting your 3D CAD is creating an Onshape account so you can use the onshape design program.
Follow the video carefully to set up your education subscription account and to learn how to log in to Onshape.

Mood Lamp Template
The first part of modelling your mood lamp involves copying the basic mood lamp file from the public area on onshape and making a copy of it for yourself. You will then share this file with your teacher using onshape's built in share function.
This video will guide you through the process.
