Part 1:Strategies for Successful 3D Modeling

In the first part of this book, we will be covering key concepts as we overview and identify strategies for successful 3D modeling. Starting with an overview of Tinkercad, we will quickly cover the key tools and resources needed to engage with the skills and activities that are to come in future parts of this book. This includes setting up your workspace, as well as building an aptitude in design thinking techniques and modeling in three dimensions. This part will also serve as an opportunity for all readers, regardless of prior experience, to work toward the level of proficiency needed to understand the advanced topics covered in future chapters for designing in Tinkercad and manufacturing our designs using 3D printing techniques.

This part includes the following chapters:

• Chapter 1, Tinkercad, an Innovative Approach to 3D Design
• Chapter 2, Tools and Strategies for Successful 3D Modeling
• Chapter 3, The Perspectives in 3D Design
• Chapter 4, Designing through Constructive Solid Geometry
