Inventor
Inventor is an adobe program that allows people to create 3D images.
We will use inventor to create many different projects this year however the first one that we are created is the widget. I learned many different things while using inventor, I now know how to use inventor to create 3D designs that I will later use to 3D print and I also learned how to move these templates to the MakerBot program. Now in the future I know how to create objects in Inventor and then 3D print them. We started by tracing many different designs the we were given here are some below.
Then we translated all of them into inventor and started on the 3D design.
Here is one of them and the one that I printed. |
Here is another image of it in MakerBot, this is the screen that shows how the widget will be made up in the 3D printer.
By putting our shape in maker bot we were then able to 3D print our widget. Here is a picture of it printing.
After it was done printing for 42 minutes I was able to grab it out. Here is my widget when it was done printing.
Here are the other Widgets I made in inventor.
