3d Design and 3d Printing
3d printing has been used by industry since the mid 1980's. It is used to print everything from food to guns to human tissue.
Our
Makerbot 3D printers work through additive manufacturing. This is
accomplished by laying down thin layers of plastic, one on top of the
other, to build up a 3d structure.
3D models can be built in 3d software programs or captured with a 3d scanner or digital camera.

Final Project - 3D Abstract Geometric Sculptures
* Spend 7 min mixing and matching the virtual objects in Tinkercad to create your sculpture.
- This is about working fast and being free. Explore and try new things for 7 min. After that stop and start a new one! Make as many as possible!

Exporting STLs in Tinkercad
1. Pick your favorite three 3D sculptures and call over JOe
2. Export them as STL's
- Look for the 'Export' button in the upper right hand.
- Make sure the "Include everyting in Design" check box is checked and export a STL
