One of the best creations about the Internet is all of the online tools that can help create art. There are endless possibilities to create something when the inspiration hits.
When it comes to 3D printing, it’s important to have a basic understanding of the different platforms that can be used to create prints.
One of the best online platforms for 3D printing is Tinkercad.
Don’t believe me? Check out this video from Autodesk Tinkercad. It’ll show you that creativity can start with a simple shape and become a useful tool to a wonderful invention.
Tinkercad is a great website to develop your prints. Simply make an account and begin building.
Tinkercad has short tutorials that help you become accustomed to the tools within its website.
When you feel like you’re ready and familiar with the amazing components Tinkercad has to offer, you’re ready to start building!
Here’s what the layout looks like when you start to build your own creations.
The best way to become familiar with Tinkercad is to try making something. Learn as you go, if you will.
Once you’ve made a creation, which could be anything, like the tree-like object I just quickly made, you’re reading to begin printing.
The last step that you need to do is hit the ‘Export’ button to save the file to your device in order to start printing. You can copy the file to a flash drive or attach the USB cord to your computer and the printer in order to print. Each print has an estimated build time so you know when to go back and check out your finished product!
Have fun with Tinkercad! It’s a great way to learn the basics before getting into more complex designs.
