3D Scanning and Printing

1. Group assignment:

Test the design rules for your 3D printer(s) Document your work on the group work page and reflect on your individual page what you learned about characteristics of your printer(s) Individual assignment:

2. Design, document and 3D print an object that could not be easily made subtractively 3. 3D scan an object (and optionally print it)

before start using 3D printer I would strongly recommend to read this glossary to be more familiar with the phrases here

3D printing an object

the idea is to make an heart inside the coin moving for my daughter Bahar. Using Fusion 360 to design a model and then print it with one of the printer available in Oulu super Fablab.

First starting sketching the approximate shape of the heart using two circle, line, mirror and dimension feature to have the exact number and symmetric 2D sketch like below:

and using mirror feature make the design symmetric:

Making a circle around the heart that the original point is approximately in the middle of heart. and the second circle using feature offset with bigger 2mm diameter:

and extrude heart and round ring between two circle by 2mm:

What I learnt?
