3D Drawing by TinkerCAD | CPE101 Week 4
WHAT? (What did we learn?)
What is 3D Drawing?
3D Drawing is the drawing that represents both the x, y and z-axis. So, that means before drawing we must have a draft in multi-views to make it easier to make a model. While drawing draft you can use either pencil, Illustrator, or CAD (Computer-Aided Design) to draw it. But if you want to make it a model you have to use a 3D program to make it.
When you want to use a 3D Drawing as equipment of your project you can use 3D printer to print it as a plastic.
What is TinkerCAD?
TinkerCAD is a free web app that we can use it for 3D design, circuit, and coding.
In TinkerCAD we usually use about 7 basic shapes that are cone, cylinder, wedge, sphere, torus, box, and pyramid.

SO WHAT? (Why is this important?)
This is important when you want some unique piece in your work. So, you have to make it yourself. And to make it as 3D model and print it is a common way that many people use.
NOW WHAT? (implications / reflections)
This class makes me more creative and think in more different ways. Because when you have a first 3D draft is usually be 2D multi views picture. So, you have to see and think when it is a model what should it be and do it carefully like you did in 2D because if it is error it can cause a big problem and maybe you must print it again and it is very waste your time and your resourses.
