3D Design & Production

Course Code: ADS11Q3D

This is a fun, hands-on course where students learn how to design and create 3D models and turn them into real objects using 3D printers.

Learn how to create printable files and operate 3D printers.
Use easy-to-learn design software and explore more advanced tools.
Practice preparing files, adjusting settings, and working with various materials.
Discover how 3D modeling is used in industries like video games, movies, and product design.
Finish the course by designing and printing your own project, gaining both creative and technical skills.

3D Printing Process

3D Design in TinkerCad

Step 1: 3D Design (3D Application)

We start by bringing ideas to life using 3D software. Students learn the fundamentals of 3D modeling with various 3D applications.

Slicing model in Cura

Step 2: Slicing (Cura)

Next, the 3D model is imported into a slicer program like Cura. Here, we prepare the model for printing by choosing settings like layer height, infill, and supports. The slicer then converts the model into G-code instructions for the printer.

Step 3: Final Print

Finally, the G-code is sent to the 3D printer. The printer follows the instructions layer by layer, extruding filament to build the physical object from the ground up, turning a digital design into a tangible creation.
