3D Printing:

• Tools for 3D printing: To design and create your own 3D printing object, you need to use the online tool (Tinkercad). After finishing your design, export your work as .STL file for 3D printing. The staff in Science library will help you print it out.
• Resources:
  •  If you want to use some 3D templates, you can go to this website:  Thingiverse  If your download is a compressed ZIP file, you can usually find an STL file inside. You need to use Tinkercad  to customize the template.
  •  Basic Tutorial for Tinkercad:     link ( You can login Lynda.com by using uga    portal. It requires you to type “www.uga.edu” with your uga account. )
  •  Youtube  Examples:
    • How to create a 3D nametag: link
    • How to create a 3D cup with your name on it: link
• Preparation for Thursday: Before you go to science library, do not forget to store the .STL file in your flash drive.

Homework: (Due Date Feb 19,)

1.  Try to finish your own 3D design. If you can finish it before Thursday class, we can ask science librarian to print your work out during our visit. Since it takes probably 20 minutes to print each, we may not have enough time to let everyone finish 3D printing. Sign-up sheet.

2.  Write two design journals on your website.

Design Journal #1 (After finishing your design with Tinkercad)

Design Journal #2 (After printing your real 3D product out)

Requirement:

You should include at least 1 picture in your journal demonstrating your working process, and  2-3 paragraphs of your design process.
