Description

This short course will teach you everything you need to get started with OpenSCAD. OpenSCAD is a free code based 3D modeling tool in which complex 3D models can be built using the principles of constructive geometry and extrusion. Through 3 illustrative examples, we will cover the creation of basic shapes and the use of operations to combine these shapes into complex structures. This is a great class for hobbyists and 3D printing enthusiasts who are new to OpenSCAD. Students of all ages and backgrounds will enjoy seeing the beautiful and complex designs that can be created in OpenSCAD using only a few lines of code.

You will learn

✓ Use OpenSCAD to create printable 3D models
✓ Use geometric transformations to create beautiful and complex 3D shapes
✓ Design personalized 3D printed gifts

Requirements

• You should possess a basic understanding of geometric shapes
• You should have access to a PC/ Mac OS/ Linux computer to install and run OpenSCAD
• You do not need to own a 3D printer
• You do not need any prior experience in 3D modeling

This course is for

• This course is ideal for hobbyists and 3D printing enthusiasts who want a quick introduction to a free and powerful 3D modeling tool. No prior 3D modeling experience is needed.
