3D Printing
The process of creating 3D digital designs on a computer is called 3D Modeling, or
CAD (Computer-Aided Design)
What is 3D modeling?

- Your accomplishments
- Your goals
A simulated environment consisting of 360 images, videos, and sounds that is typically experienced with a headset is called
- Virtual Reality
Why are most modern products designed using CAD instead of by hand?
CAD is typically faster than designing by hand
CAD allows for precise designs that are easy to replicate
CAD allows you to quickly share and edit your designs with others

Design 3D models with a flat base
Avoid overhanging or bridged features
Make sure your features aren’t too big or too small
How can 3D models be viewed?
On a computer screen or in virtual reality if doing it online
In physical form if making something by hand
