Included are an article on perspective drawing and how it applies to 3D printing, an article on how to draft a technical drawing, and one on what information is important when documenting a 3D printed model.
Creating a Technical Drawing for 3D Models
-
Join me in building multi-tiered shelving units, DVD racks, and other useful household furnishings.
-
Join me as I learn and practice making models that move or bend, but don’t need built. Tolerance, clearance, and a calibrated printer are essential skills.
