3D Modelling is the process by which a virtual computer generated model of an object is created in 3 planes or dimensions i.e. x,y,z.  There are many 3D modelling packages however most are unsuitable for beginners or non-designers. TinkerCAD was created for Primary school students to make it easy to develop 3D models specifically for 3D […]

This chapter covers the process of converting your 3D model file into GCode ready for the 3D printing.  This is commonly known as “Slicing” because the 3D model file which are “vectors” (mathematical formulae) are turned into geometrical coordinates (x,y,z) layer by layer.  The layers are horizontal and are also called “slices” hence the term […]
