3D Design Simple Project (Dice)

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- This project took me a while to come up with but i think in the end it turned out well. These dice came out really nicely and are one of my favorite creations. The creation was extremely tedious but alright in the end. I think complex project will be even harder but i look forward to it.
