Description:

Through this digital design activity, you'll acquire valuable skills in 2D and 3D design using Rhino, and you'll have the opportunity to showcase your creativity by designing a unique monument. Get ready to bring your digital design ideas to life!

Duration: ~4-5 hrs

Materials: Computer

Instructions for Tinkercad

• Begin by logging into Tinkercad. Tinkercad offers a simpler interface compared to Rhino, making it ideal for beginners to dive into 2D and 3D design.

•  Use the primitive shapes and editing tools in Tinkercad to build a 3D model of your wearable device.

• Once your 3D model is complete, export it as an STL file or take a screenshot for submission.
• For 2D files, make sure your 3d Model is intersecting with the plane, and save it as svg. You will get the section cut as a 2D file.

Instructions for RHINO

1: Rhino 2D Drawing for Wearables 

• Begin by navigating to the "Rhino Resources" tab and access the slides for "Rhino 2D Drawing". Follow along with the class to learn the fundamentals of 2D design in Rhino.
• Download the "2D Rhino file" provided in the "Rhino Resources" and complete the associated activity.

2: Rhino 3D Modeling for Wearables

• Next, move to the "Rhino 3D Modeling" resources in the "Rhino Resources" tab.
• Download the Rhino file specific to this section and complete the 3D modeling activity.

3: Create Your Own Wearable

• With your foundation in both 2D and 3D design, it’s time to apply your skills. Design your very own wearable device (e.g., a bracelet, smartwatch, or health tracker) using Rhino. 
• You can choose to create a 3D visualization of your wearable or develop the 2D files for laser cutting your design to physically construct it.
• Once your design is complete, take a screenshot of your Rhino model. Upload screenshots along with the Rhino file to the Response tab to share your creation with the class.

Deliverables for both software:

In the "responses tab", create a post with the following:

• Drawing file ready for laser cutting or 3D printing.
• Screenshots of your 2D/3D drawings along with the file attached to the file and save on a usb drive.
