Learning Objective: You will use a picture to create a 3D model.
Essential Question: How can identifying repeated patterns help us recreate a real world objects more efficiently?
Unit 3: Solid Modeling
Do Now: What is the most basic element in the image below?
What are the larger groupings that have been created from the basic elements? Identify as many as you can.
What tools or strategies would you use to create those larger groupings in TinkerCAD?
Repeated Elements: Rail Car
Today's task:
- Create a wheel, a chassis, a connecting link, and an open bed for a rail car.
- Complete all questions on the Day 1 Google doc.
To complete:
1. Open the Day 1 Google doc.
2. Follow all instructions and answer all questions within.
We'll share and discuss our progress in the last 10 minutes of class!
Designing From Images
- In your groups, identify the basic elements of a freight car in the picture below.
- How many unique elements are there in a freight car?
Design From Images
You and a partner will design a freight car! For this challenge, you will be designing something with no written instructions – your guide will be the image itself. Recreate the Rail Car in the pictures below.
Today's Task! Create a wheel, a chassis, a connector, and an open car.
For today, just create these pieces. Focus on making each part as well-aligned, symmetric, and accurate as you can.
