About this Event

Workshop Description:

If you've ever wanted to start designing your own 3D printed items, this workshop is where to start. This 90‑minute session is perfect for anyone just starting out or not sure where to begin with 3D modeling. Tinkercad is a free, web-based app that can be used on almost any computer setup and can get you modeling very quickly. Using premade shapes, hole tools, and an easy to understand interface, we'll show you how to create a simple item, export it, and bring it into Bambu Studio for easy printing.


What You'll Learn:

  • What is Tinkercad and why to learn it over other programs?
  • How to add Shapes to the work area
  • Using the hole tool and getting creative
  • Grouping and Aligning
  • Working around program limitations
  • Exporting your files and Import SVGs
  • Print setting in Bambu Studio
