Activity 1:
Creating a digital file for 3D printing has never been easier. Many different modeling programs can be used to accomplish this task with ease. Many of these programs are free or offer a free trial. This will allow you to preview this software to see if it is suitable for you, your school, or place of work. Your task is to create a single digital file that you would be willing print in the future to place on your desk. This widget can be anything that you feel would entice someone to start a conversation about 3D printing or be used to educate someone else on the possibilities that are now available with this technology. If you have the ability to print this item and would like to, please post a photo of it in the section below for the rest of us to see. If not, please take a screenshot of your creation and post it.
Some free modeling/CAD software can be found in the buttons below. However, feel free to use any other software you are comfortable with using.
