CAD Functions
Once your design is complete in Tinkercad, how can you export it for 3D printing or further editing in other software?
Export> Desired file format
Which section of the Tinkercad interface is used for placing and manipulating 3D shapes?
Workplane
Differentiate between 2D and 3D CAD modeling
2D works with 1 view, 3D considers all sides and features
Differentiate between isometric and orthographic drawings.
Iso is 3D, Ortho is 2D
Define CAD and explain its significance in engineering design.
CAD allows us to digitally view and manipulate models. Makes 3D printing possible.
How can you combine multiple basic shapes in Tinkercad to create more complex objects?
Right-click and select "Group"
What is Tinkercad, and what is its primary purpose in the realm of design and prototyping?
3D Printing software
How is an auxiliary view typically constructed?
By projecting lines perpendicular to the viewing plane
The three main views we use in orthographic projection are ________ ________ and ________
Front, side, and top
Why would you use a section view in a technical drawing?
To reveal internal details that are not visible in exterior views
To "extrude" in cad is to..?
Go from 2D to 3D
T or F:
TinkerCAD has a section of premade models that can be accessed in the menu
TRUE
What role do hidden lines play in an auxiliary view?
Indicate features that are hidden from the view being projected.
Describe a situation where an isometric drawing would be more suitable than an orthographic drawing.
Cannot see all views or important information, etc.
Which type of section view is created when the cutting plane passes completely through the object?
Full section
What file format is needed for 3D printing
STL, OBJ
Which category features the shapes such as a cupe and sphere in TinkerCAD?
Basic shapes
What is an auxiliary view in technical drawing?
A secondary view used for additional details
The lines on isometric paper run ________ while the lines on Orthographic paper run _____________
diagnolly, vertically and horizontally
What was the name of the main woman who helped the Friendship-7 take flight in the movie ‘Hidden Figures’?
Katherine Johnson
The ____________ is at the top of the workspace in TinkerCAD and will let you rotate around your object
View cube
We use TinkerCAD in which unit of measurement?
Millimeters, metric
What axis's are used in rotations in Spatial Vis
X, Y, Z
In relation to the standard orthographic views (top, front, side), where is an auxiliary view usually placed?
Adjacent to the front view
Dormer windows, symmetrical around door, centered door, smaller frame
