This lesson covers the basics on the use of CAD for the 3D modelling of products/objects to be produced by 3D printing. The Open Source Tinkercad Software (https://www.tinkercad.com/) which is a very popular CAD modelling software for 3D printers is introduced and used for demonstrating the 3D modelling process. Tinkercad is a free, easy-to-use app for 3D design, electronics, and for coding. Various tutorial examples have been provided with instruction on how to create a 3D model of the product along with videos demonstrating the process.
