Instructor: Laurel Pollard

Campers will be introduced to the process of creating an object from start to printed. Participants will learn TinkerCAD, an online design tool for students, and how to take their models from virtual to reality. They will learn basic 3d-printer operations and design considerations to get better 3d printing results. They'll also take a look at what other 3d artists have designed and print an item from the open-source 3d printer community.
