SPSS – Bag Carrier
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: Problem: I want to print something for my mom and I also want it to be something that she will need and use. Solution: Make a bag carrier. I thought this was the best and the most fun assignment in 3D Design 2 Build so far. What I liked so much about this assignment was that the student can choose what would they like to make. So what I made was something for my mom.
