3D designing allows us to be creative and think usefully about real-life issue solving, by employing tools to assist us make our thoughts and designs a reality.

Supplies

laptop and internet connection.
paper and pencils.
clay.
shape around you (ex: cup, table, keychain …..).

Step 1: Outcomes

after this lesson, you will be able to:

Learning the different between 2D and 3D shape.
Develops foundational skills to work with the digital 3D modeling.
Discover basics tools in TinkerCad and use it.
Create basic 3D models.

Step 2: Evaluation

By the end of this lesson, you can deal with basic tools in TinkerCad and create a simple 3D design from basics shape.

Step 3: Unplugged Activity

here we will know the different between 2D shape and 3D shape. Using the paper, pencil and draw any shape or design your idea. 2D drawing help us in basics of our design, try to hold a cup, think about the shape of this cup ( it is a cylinder with a hole along it and half of ring attached with this cylinder).

try this thinking with different object around you ( start with basics and simple object).

all of this a 3D shapes, now try with clay doing any of this shapes.

Step 4: Intro to TinkerCad Tools

there is our interface of 3D design in TinkerCad, after make an account in TinkerCad select 3D design and create new design.

the interface showing 4 important parts:

Workplane there is the plane on which a visual task is usually done.
All of basics shapes and other shapes.
Helping tools in our design (group, ungroup, align, mirror).
Another useful tools (copy, paste, undo, duplicate, delete).

Step 5: Let's Make 3D Design

let make first design a Bee cell we can use it in decoration.

now try to get a hexagon shape from basics shapes and adjust the dimensions (width, length and height) and you can also chose any color you want.

to cut it we need make a hole in this shape but what is the tools, any of this shape has properties it can be a solid without any holes or it can be a hole all of it. this help us to cut a solid one with the same shape.

put the hole one on the solid one and make them as a group in the toolbar. to be cutting.

Step 6: Finish Our Design

now the time for useful tool is copy and paste or you can use duplicate and repeat that is will automatically copy and paste whatever you select and place it in the same location of original one.(It remembers what you did before, As a result, when you use it, it will not only paste selected items, but it will also carry out your previous action on them).

adjust shapes beside each other by select and move from mouse of arrow in keyboard, then select all of them to make it group to control all of them at once (one shape).

now your are finish your first 3D design.

you can get text from basics shape and change the word and it is dimensions.
