What is design?
Design is the process of envisioning and planning the creation of objects, products, systems, buildings, vehicles, etc. It is a user-centered approach to create solutions for people's needs or desires. It involves thinking through how an object or a product should look like, how it should function, the components that make it, and the way the components interact with each other to produce the desired result. Design involves representing the thought-process in the form of a two-dimensional sketch, or as a three-dimensional model. Designing an object or product before physically building it helps the designer address its intended use, satisfy users, reduce mistakes, minimize risks, and improve the overall outcome.
What is 3D modeling?
A 3D model is a three-dimensional design of a physical object or product created using a software tool. The 3D model so created can be physically given shape using a 3D printer. 3D models are used in video games, movies (animations, special-effects, etc.), architecture, illustration, engineering, and commercial advertising.
3D modeling catches errors in design before the design is put to real-world use. Using 3D modeling tools, you can make quick changes to your idea or product design before physically building it.
How can I create a 3D model of my idea or product?
You can use TINKERCAD from Autodesk, Inc, to easily create a 3D model of your idea or product. It is very easy to learn, and you can create 3D models in just a matter of minutes !
How can I print my 3D model?
Once you create a 3D model of your idea or design, you can export your model into a ".STL" file. The .STL file can then be fed to a 3D Printer that will print your 3D model into a physical object such as the ones shown below.
