Project- 3D Modelling and Design... Criteria A

3D Modelling and Design

Inquiry and Analysis

Digital Design & Printing as a form of communication and output has evolved through time and space to influence audience’s perspective. 

Introduction

I am a student of Emirates International School- Meadows. I am in year 8 In term 1, as part of my MYP design, I have been using a software known as TinkerCAD. CAD stands for Computer Aided Design. Computer Aided Design is a unique way of creating 2D and 3D projects. This can be used to create precise drawings and models of the object.

In the future, on TinkerCAD, I would like to create glasses that project solutions to answers. I want to do this because many people wear glasses today and many people feel that they can do better in tests. I chose this is project because I wish that I had one of these glasses. I also did it because it is a very challenging project. It is challenging because making the keys on the glasses need to be the same size and length and it needs to be the same way apart. I need to be very accurate while doing this project because I don’t want to randomly place the buttons on the glasses. TinkerCAD will be the best software to make the projecting glasses because it has all the tools needed to make the glasses. I feel this is a very good idea as many people wish they had glasses like these. This can be proven by my primary research table. This project would benefit children as it helps them think and the glasses gives them hints so they don't give up during tests. the buttons are hidden can can be seen only when a button is pressed. Also it is small so it is easy to carry. That is why I feel this is a good project to do.

Design Brief:

For this MYP design, I am creating glasses that projects clues and hints for you to solve questions. It will be normal looking glasses like many people wear but it will have buttons that help you depending on what you need help in. The good thing is that whoever is wearing the glasses will be the only one who can see the projection. Also it has a finger print scan so only the people whose finger prints are recorded can use these glasses. I want to include buttons which are really thin so they don’t stand out. The lens of the glasses should be thin.  I need to have one really thin button at one of the handles. When this button is clicked, all the buttons turn on or off. This button is controlled by the finger print scan which is on the power button. The handles will be grey in colour and the lens will be glasses without any lenses. These could take me a total of 1 week to create these glasses including 2 hours in class and equivalent time at home. I will be making these glasses on TinkerCAD. These are the basic ideas of what I want to include in my project.

TinkerCAD Lesson 3 - 8th October 2015

TinkerCAD Lesson 3- 8th October 2015

Lesson 3: Creating Holes 

Steps to make a Group Result:

• Take a hexagonal prism from the padlet and drag it to the outlined area in orange.

• Now choose the Hole feature from the Inspector.

• Next, select shift while holding both the objects together and click the 'Group' button in the tool bar.

This is the finished lesson.

     I learned how to group the objects together. I also learned how to hole things . 

I found the lesson easy.

TinkerCAD Lesson 4- 8th October 2015

Lesson 4- Camera Controls

Steps to do camera movements:

• The arrows on the top left corner move the the camera up, down, left, right.

• The plus and minus signs zoom in and out. The are also found in the top left corner
• 
  
• The home button takes you back to the starting position.

How to do Camera movements with a mouse:

• Use the right button down to move across the workplane.

• Use the shift key and the right button to pan your camera

• Use your scroll wheel to zoom in and out.

TinkerCAD Lesson 2

TinkerCAD - 6 October 2015

LESSON 2: SCALE, COPY, PASTE

Lesson Objective: 

-To identify components used in creating the 3D model by specifying shapes used, directions roatated/height adjustments.

-Take a screen shot of each block created and generate it in you blog.

In this lesson, I finished three cylinders using three programming techniques called: Scale, Copy, Paste. 

STEPS TO MAKE THE CYLINDERS:

1. Take a cylinder and place it in the workplane area outlined in orange.
2. Now take another cylinder and place it next to the first cylinder.
3. Next use the white dot on the second cylinder and scale it to 15mm.
4. Now take another cylinder from the shape padlet or the tool box and place it on the other side of the first cylinder.
5. Reduce the height of the third cylinder to 10mm

Lesson completed. 

Here is the finished lesson on TinkerCAD.

•  Today I learned how to scale objects, adjust heights, copy and paste and take a screen shot on tinkerCAD.

Tinker Cad- 3D Programmer

Tinker Cad Lesson 1 -  01 October 2015

We were introduced to a 3D programming website called 'TinkerCad'. It allows you to create 3D models of objects.

We went on the website called: https://www.tinkercad.com/ 

And we signed up using created email addresses.

The Steps of signing up were:

-It asks you for a country, leave it as United States.

-It will ask you for your Date of birth, don't give your real date of birth, 
create a fake one as you need to be over 18 to use Tinkercad.

-After clicking next, it will ask you for a email address, you can nickname yourself 

anything as you as you remember it.

- Type in a password. The username and password is how you will log in tinkercad, 

so remember it.

After signing up:

After signing up, the website takes you to a practice lesson where they explain how to move the camera, move objects, copy and paste objects, create different objects.

This was the boat we were told to make using the file.

After five-ten minutes of exploring, we were given a file called '3Dvinci'. We used 3D vinci to follow instructions and create a boat using the instructions. We did not have the time to finish so we will continue that next lesson. 

This was a beginning lesson, the instructions are
written in the middle in the black box.
