During today’s session, we finished our introduction on 3D Printing technologies. We also began discussing 3D Modeling for 3D Printing, by using the 3D Print [3DM] Rhino File and explaining *What defines a Surface; *What defines a Solid; *How to pull Curves from Surfaces; and *How to create surfaces from curves. (*Note: The previous links are from previous tutorials for SoArch’s Digital Fabrication Lab. They still illustrate the same commands and content.)

In the first 45 minutes of class, time was given to review and familiarize yourself with Rhino Commands and 2D Geometry development. If you’re new to 3D Modeling, it might be best to review the steps listed in Laser > File Prep. If you have experience with 3D Modeling, a useful exercise may be drawing/modeling a small-found-object (e.g. computer mouse, cell phone, drinking container, etc.) During this time, the final group of (6) students visited the Laser equipment and received operation/procedural training for the Laser Equipment.
You should be thinking about what you would like to create for Project 1.
At the end of class, we introduced 3D Printing.

In today’s class, we finished our discussion on the most common Editing, Analysis, and 2D Modeling Commands. As an additional resource, here are the commands that we went over during class.
We also spent time introducing the Laser Equipment with a brief overview on operation procedure and equipment policy.
At the end of class, Project 1 was described and assigned.
