The Learning Platform
Each section of the mini-course focuses on a different mechanism and comes with a range of resources to help you master it. These include 3D model files, 3D design tutorials and more.
8. Mechanism Cubes
In this intermediate-advanced mini course, you’ll be introduced to the fascinating world of 3D printed mechanisms. The creative learning resources will teach you how to add connections and movement to your 3D models – unlocking new and innovative design possibilities. New mechanisms will be added to the course throughout the year, so be sure to check back here regularly. At the end of the course is a quiz, and if you achieve over 70%, you can download a certificate! View the course details below and start a free trial to PrintLab today!
