3D Design Portfolios

All month we have been working on a portfolio of designs using the site Tinkercad.

I'm excited to share with you some of the designs that the kids have made!

Check out the slideshow below, and ask your child about their designs.

3D Design!


Happy April!

The students are beginning work with Tinkercad and their 3D Designs! Our first design is going to be something that serves a purpose.

There were some other restrictions on the project as well:
  • Includes name
  • Includes at least 3 shapes
  • Maximum dimensions: 6 cm (length) x 6 cm (width) x 2 cm (z-axis (tall))
Example: keychain, bookmark, magnet, necklace pendant

Tinkercad is an easy-to-use web site that uses a library of 3D shapes that can be manipulated in many directions. Then, you can download the file for the 3D Printer!

We are excited to have a new 3D Printer in the classroom this year. Hopefully, it will help us get our prints faster.

I look forward to seeing what the kids will make!
