3D Design
I decided to do 3d printing because I had switched from the IT academy to the EMR (Engineering) academy and thought it would relate more to what I was gonna be doing next year than coding.
I worked my way through around six lessons of 3d design, and this is what I’ve learned
Introduction
3d Printing is a process of creation wherein a design or model is input into a special printer that prints it out 3-dimensionally using special materials.
Importance
It allows for improved processes for a variety of things,
such as:
Manufacturing
Can create things for large scale productions (factories) such as:�
Automobile Parts(L) 3D Printed Parts(R)
Alternatives
Can result in more sustainable production of goods through things like:�
3D Printed Home(L)
Encouraging Reuse, and therefore, Sustainability (R)
Convenience
Can create convenient objects to make everyday life easier such as:�
Coffee mug (L) Phone Stand (R)
These are just some applications; the possibilities are endless

In total, I spent a good couple of classes on it, but it really wasn’t too bad time-wise, the most daunting thing was getting the programs to work, which took the most time for me.
I recommend learning about 3d design because it is unique and will likely be important in the future!
