3D Printing - MakerBot - Tinkercad
design, collaborate, and create amazing things you never thought possible
What is 3D Printing ?
3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object.
How does 3D printing work?
It all starts with making a virtual design of the object you want to create. This virtual design is made in a CAD (Computer Aided Design) file using a 3D modeling program
How Tinkercad works -
1. Place
Shapes are basic building blocks of Tinkercad.
A shape can add or remove material. Import your
own, or work with existing shapes.
2. Adjust
Move, rotate and adjust shapes freely in space.
Use tools like the ruler to input exact dimensions.
3. Combine
Group together a set of shapes to create models
as detailed as you want.
