Share Description
This course will show you how to use 3D printing software to create digital designs that can be printed as physical objects. It will also show how 3D scanners convert physical objects into digital designs. This is a hands-on course that will walk you through two popular 3D modelling programmes, Tinkercad and Fusion 360, step by step. Learners who complete this course will be able to design a wide range of objects for both personal and professional use using 3D software. In addition, learners who enrol in the course certificate will have free access to Fusion 360 for an extended period of time (provided by Autodesk).

Syllabus :
1. Course Orientation
- You will become familiar with the course, your classmates, and our learning environment. The orientation will also help you obtain the technical skills required for the course.
2. Module 2: Tinkercad
- Let’s move from expressing our ideas in two dimensions (sketching) to expressing them in three dimensions. You will learn how to use Tinkercad, which is a great software for beginners, before we learn more advanced modeling software (Fusion 360) in module 3.
