About

Learn how to design and create original works using Computer Aided Design (CAD). This class is for beginners who want to explore the world of computer aided design. No CAD or computer experience is necessary. We will teach you the basics of using TinkerCAD, a free CAD design program created with beginners in mind. During this class, you will design and 3D print several original objects of your creation. With these skills, you can work at home and create more complex items. After creating additional items at home, you can bring them into the BARN ETA studio and 3D print them during open studio hours. 

Some of the items we will create include customized key fobs, original button designs and holiday ornaments. Bring your imagination with you. 

Completion of the ETA Introduction to 3D Printing class is suggested but not necessary. Each student should bring with them a laptop with a TinkerCAD sign in. https://www.tinkercad.com/ If you are not comfortable signing up for the program, this can be done at the beginning of class. 

Instructor Bio: Tim Strevell has been working with the BARN ETA for three years now. He comes to BARN after retiring as a high school science teacher. One of his biggest retirement pleasures comes from teaching people new, fun skills.
