Get your school’s 3D printing program up and running with Polar Cloud. This path walks you through setting up your school, connecting printers, managing users, and choosing the right workflow so students and teachers can start printing quickly and safely.
If you’ve never created and saved a custom configuration, you’re almost certainly using a default one — and that’s usually a good thing. Polar Cloud’s default configurations are either tuned by the community or provided directly by the printer manufacturer....
Custom configurations let you take a known-good setup and adapt it to how you print — without breaking the defaults. The workflow is simple and intentional: you always start from an existing configuration, then decide who should be able to...
While creating designs it helps to see your shapes from all sides.The ViewCube (located at the top left of Tinkercad) will help you look around.Let's learn how you can change your view.
Learn how to change a shape's scale by sizing it up or down.
Checking on your print via the printer's built-in webcam is a great way to add a little peace-of-mind to your printing.
Moving, rotating and arranging basic shapes is what allows creativity in Tinkercad. The combination of simple shapes allows the creation of more complex and creative designs.
While creating in Tinkercad it can be helpful to make a copy of a shape in your design.
Placing shapes is one of the most common actions taken in Tinkercad and is simply the act of getting a shape into the design and onto the Workplane.
Grouping shapes lets you combine shapes into a single object. Any shape in the group can be used to add or remove material from the other shapes it is combined with.
The duplicate command is similar to the copy command, but has a few added benefits. Let's try it out and see what the duplicate command can do.
Integration enables seamless fleet management of Bambu printers through trusted Polar Cloud platform used in 6,800+ schools.
While building you may need to line up shapes. Let's try aligning some shapes.
In this project you will learn how to remove material from another shape using the hole feature.
When designing, the workplane can become cluttered with shapes. Instead of moving or deleting shapes that you may need, you can easily just hide the shapes from view until you need them again.
A student is ready to print their Tinkercad designs after completing the 11 lesson plans below. The final activity is a printable nametag keychain, and submitting it to the Polar Cloud for printing!
Let's learn how to rotate shapes on the Workplane.
