Step 1 – Modeling

There are many computer-aided design (CAD) programs that work well with 3D printing:

  • Tinkercad is one of the most user-friendly 3D modeling tools. It's free and runs entirely in your browser.
  • For more advanced features, Autodesk Fusion 360 modeling software is available for free to students.

Step 2 – Save Your File as an .stl

Once your model is accurately dimensioned and fits within the printer's build volume, save it as an .stl file, the standard format for 3D printing.

Step 3 – Upload to Box

Use the shared Box folder to upload your .stl file and transfer it to the printer queue.

Step 4 – Follow Instructions

Follow the printing instructions provided in the shared Box folder to complete your submission.
