Tinkercad is an easy-to-use tool for creating digital designs available from free from Autodesk. Through these five lessons, you will be guided through the 3D design process. They teach the basics of CAD before moving on to more complex modeling techniques and are part of learning 3D Design + Printing at UGA Libraries Makerspace. Sign up for a 3D Design + 3D Printing workshop on UGA Libraries Makerspace web page.

The Revopoint POP 3D scanner is a full-color scanner. The highest single-frame has an accuracy of up to 0.3mm, texture scan, 8Fps scanning speed, and can quickly generate models for 3D printing.

3D Printing Policies

Makerspace 3D printers are used for educational (research and academic), non-commercial purposes only. Content must be designed by the user. 3D Printers are available for prototyping, not for mass production of items. Makerspace employees do not edit files, create, or print items for users. 3D Print jobs must be completed while the Makerspace is open. Users may only use one 3D Printer at a time. Only library-purchased filament is allowed. 3D printer filament is not food safe. All Makerspace users agree to respect the health and safety of the University community and abide by all applicable state and federal laws, University policies, UGA Library policies, and Student Code of Conduct. The University System of Georgia abides by the copyright laws of the United States (Title 17, U.S. Code), which governs creating reproductions of copyrighted materials. All users of Makerspace equipment must abide by copyright and trademark laws. 

No weapons, parts for weapons, weapon accessories, or weapon replicas may be produced with any Makerspace equipment. Makerspace equipment may not be used to create or view obscene or inappropriate content including violent or gory content, sexually explicit content, content that promotes or condones intimidation or violence against individuals or groups based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation or gender identity.

Makerspace employees reserve the right to deny or cancel any job that does not comply with policy and report the infraction to the proper authority.

There is currently no charge for filament for 3D printing.
