Course Description for 3D Printing: Hex Maps
Students will learn to use TinkerCAD, Fusion 360, and Gravity Sketch (VR) to design and create a 3D-printed mini hex map. This class will emphasize art and creativity, encouraging students to express their unique ideas through their designs. Along the way, students will learn the history of cartography and make a 2D map. We'll learn a little bit about the nuances of Google Maps and then start our 3D map. The map will feature removable trees, characters, and other elements resembling a Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) map, which students will take home as a personalized, creative project.Â
There is a materials fee of $50 to cover the cost of filament and paint.
