This is a two-part crash course in 3D modeling with Tinkercad.

Tinkercad is widely considered the most beginner-friendly 3D modeling software out there. And it’s free for anyone to use!

If you love 3D printing and want to learn how to build or customize projects, Tinkercad is a great place to start:

• Become familiar with the terminology.
• Become familiar with the workflow of building a 3-dimensional object that can then be 3D printed.

Class 1:

• Introduction to the software and how to build and manipulate objects.
• Follow along as the instructor walks through an example, step-by-step, of creating a simple 3D part.
• Set up a free account with Tinkercad so that you can practice at home between lessons.

Class 2:

• Review the basics from Class 1.
• Choose a simple object to replicate.
• Discuss strategies for 3D modeling, as well as strengths and limitations of this software.
• Time permitting, start a 3D print of what you modeled.

Prerequisite: Basic computer skills; if you’re not sure about your computer skills, we recommend signing up for a free session at the Weston Public Library -- click on this link to make an appointment.
