Tinker in 3D

TINKERCAD

Take an adventure in TinkerCAD to create 3-dimensional drawings to understand concepts of engineering and structures.

Goals & Objectives:

This will introduce the 3D modeling concepts to begin thinking of the design process for 3D printing.

Activity Instructions:

  1. Visit the TinkerCAD website.
  2. You can choose to create an Autodesk account to return to designs or just start tinkering.
  3. This is a great Beginner Tutorial on creating your first 3D deisgn. Here is a great youtube video to show you the steps.
  4. Create a customized key ring tag. (We will work on printing these on Tuesday.)
  5. Try out a few other lesson plans for 4-H Programming such as the Snowflake linked above.

There are other resources on my general 3D printing page.
