Description-Students will explore different software applications for creating a complex 3D prototype design(s). As a class we will brainstorm ideas for replicating and/or customizing designs for common objects that are used to solve routine problems. Examples might include designing a set of gears that will be used in conjunction with an shaft to turn or move another object, a protective device for smart phones (custom designed smart phone case), etc. Detail in specifying measures for design elements becomes essential to successful builds.

Students will use 123d Design and/or Sketchup to “solve” their problem. Objects may need to be imported to Meshmixer for final tweaking and prepping for 3D printing.

Reflection- I loved doing this project using 123D design on the computer.  We have made a couple things using this program so I’m getting pretty good at it! It took me a couple try’s to come up with my final invention.  First I started with two circles on the ground then extruded them up.  After that I added a rectangle on top and then extruded that up. I made the inside hollow so that the phone will sit in it.  Also I made a rectangle hole on the bottom for a iPhone charger.  The last thing I did was add two cylinders on each side to hang my headphones on!
