Project – 3D Modelling and Design

Inquiry and Analysis

Statement Of Inquiry: Digital Design & Printing as a form of communication and output has evolved through time and space to influence audience’s perspective.

Introduction

My name is Nada and i am a student of Digital design in Emirates International School Meadows and i study technology. As part of this term 1 we have been learning about a website to design 3D Modeling Objects called Tinker Cad and has developed a unique way to design or create 2D/3D Objects. For this project I will have to collect data on what kind of skills are required to improve these skills. My Research on this will be based on primary and secondary research. I went home and started to think what would i create using this website named Tinker Cad and how it would be helpful to the community. As part of MYP Project i will create a Charger shaped as a cup for an IPhone. From experience i end up forgetting to charge my phone at night when I'm about to sleep and the next day when i have to take my phone with me and I'm in a hurry my phone ends up with low battery. I as well have friends with experience with this problem so i think this would be a great idea for charging your battery by using a cup holder while charger your phone inside it. My target audience is off-course with people who own their own iPhones or phones (but in this example I’ll be using an iPhone) and can’t remember to charge their phone before they have to go somewhere and cannot wait until it charges and have to leave their phone behind. This most of all works on Teenagers but it can be used for many more people like adults as they might be as forgetful and i will start to research on how i can improve my creation or design if it already exists and how to make it better as i go on onto my information and research.

Primary and Secondary Research:
For my primary research i will be doing a survey that involves asking my classmates from the class of 8AA which of course they would  have to answer and give their opinions.I have collected the information and the answers that my class has given me and i will be putting it onto excel and putting in my fellow classmates answers that they have given me.

Looking at my table above you can surely see that my product has fairly positive comments for example : Would you agree to selling this product
Many people have answered to it yes however just one has said no so from this survey table you can definitely tell that it has good comments from the girls most of all although boys would rather say it would not be as helpful as the girls say because girls are more social active on phones to chat (at times)This graph is proving that my product would sell and it would avail a plethora of people, giving me the approbation to perpetuate my research and endangerment.
I have searched my product online as to which as helped me to develop my product in a more useful way in different creations,sizes and shapes.
Pictures that i have found on the internet:


















Secondary Research:

For my secondary research i have collected videos on different websites but most used on youtube to see how to make the product and i wasn't really surprised that there was diy's on it because technology has been all over the world in creative ways.These videos have given me a deep connection to what i should start doing better or change my product in creative ways.
The sites that i have collected for inspiration are:

Shapes On Tinkercad Activity

Smiley Face Emoji

1. search the cylinder in the geometric section 

2. flatten it to a height of 3mm, the width is 43mm and the length is 38mm  

3. Then click the sphere and placed two spheres as eyes

4. After click the hole option, (top right corner)

5. Then click the half sphere and place it below the eyes

6.  click the hole option to make it a hole

7.  click on the box and make it to a length of 17.08mm, width of 6.28mm and height of 5,71mm

8.  click on the cylinder and flatten it to a height of 3mm, width of 31mm and length of 45mm

9, Go on 'letters' option and click the letters 'h' and 'i', which obviously spell 'hi' 

10. Find the exclamation mark and place it next to the letters. 

Snowman:

1- Search the sphere in the geometric section and place in on the workplane

2- The first sphere is of a length of 24mm, width of 26mm and height of 20mm

3- The second sphere is of a length of 19mm, width of 19mm and a height of 20mm

4- The last sphere is of a length of 16mm, width 16mm and a height of 17mm 

5- and your done with your snowman

House:

1-.Go on 'shape generators' and on 'geometric' 

2-. search for the red box and click on it

3- change the length to 20mm and width 20mm as well as the height to 20mm

4-. Than change the colour of the box to any of the following colours listed

5.- After that search in the geometric section for the roof 

6- change the length to 20mm and width 20mm as well as the height to 10mm

7- To make the door, click again for the red box but made it smaller to fit the house (height of 13mm, length of 9mm and width of 3mm) 

8-. To make the chimney get another red box but sized it to a height of 14mm, width of 8mm and length 7mm and placed it on top of the roof

9-. To create the smoke,Search the sphere in the geometric section and make it small so it could fit the chimney. 

10-. Find the correct size of the shape and then just copy and paste the sphere to make many of the smokes around and on-top of each other

Tinkercad Lessons.

                           Steps for lessons on Tinkercad

Lesson 1: Learning the rules result:
1- Drag the light brown construction to the area outlined in orange.Be as accurate as you want!

Lesson 2 : Camera Controls Result:
1- Look around and zoom in to explore the model.
2-Turn your view from the arrows at the upper left corner.
3- Press up down ,left or right to see who is behind the curtains.
4-Zoom in and out with the = and - button on the left side of the page, the home button on the center of the arrows takes you back from where you began/Starting view.
The skill I learnt in this lesson was to move shapes along the workplane. It was really easy because it actually just had one step since it was lesson one and there were no hard parts, but it was really good for lesson one.The skill I learnt in this lesson was to look around the picture, using the zoom and the corners. It was a little bit confusing in the start because you didn't know which zoom button or arrow to click and sometimes it didn't take you where you wanted it to

Lesson 3: Creating Hole results

1. Drag the brown hexagonal prism shape on the area outlined in orange

2. click on the Hole feature and choose a cylinder hole

3.  place the cylinder hole on the other side of the key

4. After that  group all three shapes together by pressing shift and clicking the hexagonal prism shape and the cylinder hole;  then click the 'group'option which made them group and stick together 

Lesson 4: Scale Copy And Paste
1- First Pick the orange cylinder shape and place it on the outlined area.
2-Repeat the same step as number 1.

Lesson 5: Key Rings,Letters!
1-Drag the letter on the red base ( You can be as creative you like so you can design everything your own way)\
2-Re size the red base so the text can fit into it.
3-Drag your letter to the red base to make a word,name,place etc,.
when you had finished that clear the rest of the letters and on top by selecting it and group them by pressing group on the top right.

The skill I learnt in this lesson was to create my own personal key ring. I had found this lesson really easy even though it had lots of steps however  this lesson made you use your own creativity a lot more than any other lessons that i had done.

Last Lesson.

What did I do last lesson:

Last week on Thursday Miss Veena had told us to use a website called Tinkercad (https://www.tinkercad.com/)

Tinkercad is a simple, online 3D design and 3d printing tool for the masses. Whether you're a designer, hobbyist, teacher, or kid, you can use Tinkercad to make toys, prototypes, home decor, Minecraft models, jewelry etc...You can change the size and colour of any shape and modify it until you are happy with it.

Last week on Tinkercad we had to make our own 3D Design and follow instructions on a PDF where it told us how to make a boat using that particular website. (http://www.3dvinci.net/PDFs/GettingStartedInTinkercad.pdf)
In the site of Tinkercad we had explored around a bit and had signed into a new account and experience what Tinkercad basically does.
Even though i had only gotten halfway through to my boat design it started to actually start forming into that shape and i was quite proud to have done this since it was my first time to explore it. Eventually i hope we could do more of these lesson in Digital Design because i had found it a quite particular and interesting lesson that time.
