Innovation Co-Lab Roots Series: Your First 3-D Model

This is a free class for beginners in 3D modeling. You will need no prior 3D modeling knowledge and no 3D printing knowledge. By the end of this class you will be able to make basic parametric shapes and 3D print the models you produce.

The Roots Program is a series of workshops and lectures on technology topics, open to anyone in the Duke Community. Through these events and online platforms, students, faculty or staff of any skill and confidence level can comfortably start to gain an understanding of how to make use of a variety of tools and technologies. The goal here is not to make you an expert - we know that takes time - but to help you get to the point where you're excited and confident about starting your own project or continuing your education. Workshops are offered in topics like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, research computing, 3D modeling and fabrication, and many more.
