I am adding to the presentation so it is a work in progress. Here is a sampling of what we covered:
- 3D printing is a two step process:
- Create a 3D model using a CAD program - OnShape
- Slice the model using slicing software. - Cura
- The type of filament that we will use in our 3D printer.
- PLA - Polylactic acid
- What .gcode (geometric code) is.
- Working in 3-Dimensional Space i.e. the difference between 2D and 3D
- Understanding planes and faces in a 3D environment

If you have not created an account on OnShape then you should do that before our next class!
Have a wonderful break!!!!
