3D Overall
What '3-D' means.
What is Three-Dimensional (or Three Dimensions)?
What the floor is called in TinkerCAD.
What is the Workplane?
One of these is commonly used to design 3D models: Excel, Photoshop, CAD, MS Word.
What is CAD (Computer-aided design)?
Keyboard shortcut for Undo
CTRL + Z
The type of material that our 3-D printer uses.
What is plastic (PLA) filament?
What CAD stands for.
What is Computer Aided Design?
The 6 views that the Viewing Cube can show when you click it.
What are:
Front, Back, Top, Bottom, Left, Right
views?
The maximum size of a single object that can be 3-D printed depends on this.
What is the size of the 3-D printer?
The keyboard shortcut for 'Copy'
What are CONTROL and C
When objects are 3D printed they are always solid all the way through (True or False).
What is False? (They are often hollow with a grid inside called 'infill')
A manufacturing process that creates a 3-dimensional object by layering materials based on a digital model.
What is 3-D printing?
The name of the axis that goes straight up and down perpendicular to the floor in TinkerCAD.
What is the z-axis?
This happens when you hold shift while changing the size of an object.
What is scaling proportionally (equally) in all directions
This TinkerCAD tool combines multiple shapes into a single shape.
What is Group?
The sequence/order that each horizontal layer of a 3-D print is printed.
One of these cannot be 3-D printed:
Plastics, metals, ceramics, food, water, living tissue, houses
What is water?
This is what you click to start a new design (you can open TinkerCAD if you need to find it).
What is '+ Create > 3D Design'?
This is the kind of file we export for 3D printing from TinkerCAD (hint: 3 letters).
What is STL?
The keyboard shortcut for 'Paste'
What are CONTROL and V?
One of these is not a capability of our 3-D printer: customization, high speed, complexity.
What is high speed?
A physical working model that is used for testing a possible design or solution to a problem. It is usually full-scale.
What is a Prototype?
This is what you click in TinkerCAD to find the Starters and Button Tutorial (you can open TinkerCAD to check).
What is 'Resources > Learning Center'?
You are designing a cube-shaped hollow box that measures 40mm x 40mm x 40mm, with walls that are 2-mm thickness. The hole that needs to be made in the cube should have these dimensions (Height x Width x Length)
What are 36mm x 36mm x 36mm?
What is the tool called for making multiple objects organized / lined up?
Align
On the 3-D printer, this is what you select and then click on, to place the plastic material so that it is ready for printing.
What is Load Filament?
