Design Your Own 3D Model for Printing in CAD Software — All Online!
It’s the last week to sign up for 3DPrint.com’s online crash-course Design Essentials for 3D Printing starting October 23. Over one week, you’ll catch two live presentations from industry leaders followed by an interactive workshop. You’ll get step-by-step guidance to create your own 3D print model and learn design principles as well as the technical aspects that make a 3D design work. Whether you’re an artist or an engineer, this course will get you started on your 3D project.
Learn from these presenters:
Jordan Pelovitz, Senior 3D Artist, Wayfair
Session 1: Intro to 3D Printing Design
Date: Wednesday, October 23, 2019
11:00-11:45am ET
No experience required. Learn to think like a designer in this session, which includes an in-depth overview of ways to approach designing basic shapes for 3D printing, followed by a demonstration of Tinkercad, an easy-to-use 3D modeling program that allows you to turn your idea into a design for a 3D printer.
Aaron Breuer, founder and CTO of SelfCAD
Session 2: Developing Real Modeling Skills in 3D Print Design
Date: Wednesday, October 23, 2019
11:45am-12:30pm ET
Take the next step in 3D print design from basic shapes to real modeling. During this interactive, real-time demo, we’ll dive into the newest features of SelfCAD, a browser-based fully-featured 3D modeling and slicing software, that make designing shapes fast, easy, and fun. You’ll learn best practices on how to create an object from scratch with
- 3D sketching
- basic shapes
- shape generator
- and more!
We will guide you through a whole design-to-print flow within the lesson with SelfCAD.
