SketchUp Lesson 3
1 like720 views
Here are the steps to make an object for 3D printing that is 5cm x 5cm x 5cm: 1. Open a 3D modeling software like SketchUp and create a new file 2. Design a simple object that fits within the 5cm x 5cm x 5cm dimensions using basic shapes like boxes, spheres, cylinders, etc. 3. Make sure the object is one unified piece by grouping all components 4. Export the file as an STL file for 3D printing 5. The STL file can now be 3D printed at the specified size limits.

- 7. Lesson 3 Bringing it back to modeling vs. printing How do we take our 3D model and turn it into an actual 3D object?
- 8. Lesson 3 To do this we must first convert our file from SKP to STL Export STL: This function requires you to select one or more groups for export (so you’ll need to group your geometry before using this).
- 9. Lesson 3 Many options are available, but Sketchup has its very own!

How Does 3D Printing Work? -Basic Process: -Designed using 3D modeling software -Sent to the machine -Design assembled layer-by-layer -Considered distinct because it uses an additive process to create items, as opposed to a subtractive process -The difference in the main types of 3D Printing mostly comes down to how these layers are assembled Lesson 3
