3D model to technical drawing - 3D design for 3D printing
To get the best out of 3D printing, it helps if you can design your own parts. In this tutorial series, we will learn to use a free 3D CAD program to do just that.
In this episode, I demonstrate how to create technical drawings based on a 3D model. We cover creating multiple views across multiple sheets, dimensioning, scale, and title blocks. We also cover more advanced techniques such as section and auxiliary views, plus assembly drawings with a labelled bill of materials.
Thanks to my patron Richard for requesting this tutorial.
