Introduction to TinkerCAD
Working on 3D Design & 3D Printing
Lead partner CPU presented the first topic, touching on the basics of 3D printing, which was followed by the 2nd topic, presented by Emphasys Centre, focused on the platform TinkerCAD. After this presentation, each participant created their own 3D design in TinkerCAD, exploring its easy-to-learn interface, which is ideal for beginners and anyone new to 3D design. All participants found it easy to use and agreed that this is an accessible tool for creating 3D designs.
This task was followed by the topic of 3D Design & 3D Printing, presented by project partner SLOKVA, closing out the first day.
