10 Questions
What is Tinkercad used for?
Creating 3D model files
How does 3D printing work?
It turns digital 3D models into solid objects by building them up in layers
What is the process called when the nozzle of a 3D printer pushes out a semi-liquid substance into the shape the computer tells it to form?
Material extrusion
How does the 3D printing process lay down material to form an object?
Building thin layers which form the object being printed
What was 3D printing first developed for in the 1980s?
Manufacturing
What will you learn in the Tinkercad workshop?
A brief introduction to the world of 3D model file creation using Tinkercad, how it works, and creating a 3D model file.
What is 3D printing also known as?
Additive manufacturing.
How does the 3D printing process turn digital 3D models into solid objects?
By building them up in layers, making it from the bottom-up, slice by slice, and sticking tiny layers together to form a solid object.
What is the process called when the nozzle of a 3D printer pushes out a semi-liquid substance into the shape the computer tells it to form?
Material extrusion.
How does material extrusion work in 3D printing?
The extruder pushes out a semi-liquid substance into the shape the computer tells it to form, building thin layers which form the object being printed.
Study Notes
What is 3D Printing?
- Also known as Additive Manufacturing (AM)
- Turns digital 3D models into solid objects
How does 3D Printing Work?
- Material extrusion process: nozzle pushes out semi-liquid substance into the shape dictated by the computer
- Process called Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) or Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)
- Material is laid down layer by layer to form an object
History of 3D Printing
- First developed in the 1980s for rapid prototyping
Tinkercad
- Used for 3D design and modeling
- Workshop covers learning 3D design and modeling using Tinkercad
Material Extrusion
- Process of pushing out semi-liquid substance through a heated nozzle to form the desired shape
- Used in 3D printing to create objects layer by layer
Learn the basics of 3D model file creation using Tinkercad and understand the process of 3D printing. This workshop offers a hands-on experience to create a 3D model file and explore the option of 3D printing it.
