FreeCAD 3D Printing 4 Kids - Volume 7: Jewelry

Using the ever dynamic learn-as-you-do style this book introduces some more critical thinking skills as the student will need to adapt their projects to their own body sizes. Rings, bangles/bracelets, cuff links, ear rings and more are ahead. The book introduces students to the concepts of: the Cartesian coordinate system that describes three-dimensional space, conversion of inches to millimeters, how to use the Part, Part Design and Draft workbenches in tandem to create objects, how to use arrays to create and modify objects, how to export .STL files, how to use Netfabb Basic to check .STL files for errors, and 3D printer slicer settings. FreeCAD’s ability to be downloaded and ran without connection to the Internet allows it to be a terrific resource for any STEM education project worldwide.
