- 3D Workshop #2 - 3D Design Basics with Inkscape, and Tinkercad Michelle Folkman
- Do You 3D?
- Objectives --> --> B&W Image Inkscape Tinkercad
- 3D Concepts bitmaps / raster images are made of pixels 3D objects are made of vectors (points) and paths
- In Inkscape Steps: ● In Inkscape → File→Import ● Make sure image is selected → Path → Trace Bitmap ● Use brightness cutoff→ colors = 2 ● File → Save As → Plain SVG ● For text → Use Text tool → ● Save as a .png ● Import the .png file and follow steps above
- In Tinkercad ● Import → File → Choose File ● Choose .SVG ● Click on Download for 3D printing - save .STL file ● Or - Click Order a 3D print and use an online service
- In Makerbot ● Settings - turn on rafts and supports ● Add file → May have to adjust scale and rotation ● Click on Download for 3D printing - save .STL file ● Or - Click Order a 3D print and use an online service
