Digital Sculpture
This two-part Digital Sculpture lesson introduces students to the creation of 3D art using CAD modelling and digital sculpting tools. Students are challenged to use TinkerCAD or Fusion360 to create a basic 3D sculpture. If more time is available and the required hardware is accessible, students can be challenged to use MeshMixer to refine their models before 3D printing them.
