This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
Technology is here to stay and will forever change our life. Manufacturing and DIY at home with the aid of technology is a reality TODAY. Even 9 year old kids have been using 3D Printers to make robots, sculptures, and beyond.
Do not fear, zero computer science and 3D background required.
You will earn the 3D Printing badge (in dev) after acquiring the basic skills necessary to create a 3D model and get it printed and become reality. With the help of an online browser based 3D modeling tool, we will be able to create 3D jewels and sculpture in no time.
Learn the skills before it become mandatory. Be a stealth ninja ahead of the chase.
Sign up for www.tinkercad.com and make sure your browser can edit and save 3D models, meet the appropriate system requirements and get ready for a journey to the 3D world
www.tinkercad.com is a personal favorite, furthermore it is amazingly intuitive, pretty and fun, hence the weapon of choice for this course. I will be able to best support it as I am familiar with the interface.
Feel free to choose any CAD softwares (please look up the world CAD :) but unfortunately, you will have to look to other peers to support. We will all try our best. Web-based CAD softwares are recommended as they are easy to get started, sometimes free, and a whole lot less costly than Autodesk - more professional common softwares.
Tinkercad is a great place to start regardless

The full form of CAD is :- Computer Aided Design
CAD programs usually allow a structure to be built up from several re-usable 3-dimensional components, and the components may be able to move in relation to one another. It is normally possible to generate engineering drawings to allow the final design to be constructed.

I have choose OpenSCAD. Is free and open and easy to learn. You can find my designs uploaded in thingiverse, where my username is javialamo, just like here. :)
hi Javier, nice to see other spaniards around... looks likethere's much coding required to use openSCAD, right?

I love this European startup with an amazingly talented team and founder. Met them for reals during the Bay Area Maker Faire! Check out things made by Pekka. His the master mind behind a lot of the quest and model creations
927 viewed models! you certainly have been working in Tinkercard!
After a first glance at Tinkercad it seams to be very intuitive and easy to work with. I like!
