Tools and Strategies for Successful 3D Modeling
As we work to create complex designs with multiple parts that may be produced using 3D printing technology, we must also consider steps and strategies that we can employ to be more efficient in our creation, and successful with production. As you progress through the first part of this book, you will be introduced not only to the possibilities of creation using Tinkercad but also to strategies that may bring you greater success. Learning the fundamentals of designing in CAD is a key step for any successful designer, modeler, or creator.
In this chapter, you will be introduced to design strategies, techniques, and tools that may support you as you create complex 3D models using Tinkercad through the following topics:
- Starting with a sketch
- Taking measurements
- Choosing a device
- Using a mouse
- Keyboard shortcuts
By the end of this chapter, you will have identified a workflow that suits your design style and...
