Creating A Simple Object Prototype (Individual): Solving a basic design proble
Description:Students will explore different software applications for creating a simple 3D prototype design. As a class we will brainstorm ideas for replicating and/or customizing designs for common simple objects that are used to solve routine problems. Examples might include is designing a tool to fasten materials together (wrench, hammer, screw driver), lego type building blocks, etc.
Students will use 123d Design and/or Sketchup to “solve” their problem. Objects will be imported to Meshmixer for final tweaking and prepping for 3D printing.
Reflection:I used simple shapes, Fillet tool and the text tool
