What You Will Learn

This project is rated at a 3-4/10 skill level, perfect for those ready to move beyond basic modeling into functional mechanical assemblies:

  • Mechanical Assemblies: Model and assemble multiple interlocking parts including a custom-designed 3D-printable spring

  • Advanced Toolsets: Master the Shell tool for hollowing bodies and the Offset tool for creating precise tolerances between sliding part

  • Functional Design: Learn to use the Trim and Fillet tools to tidy complex sketches and ensure mechanical parts bend and move easily.

  • Personalization: Use the Text tool to add custom "finishing touches" or messages to your 3D models.

What’s Included

  • 27-Page Step-by-Step PDF: A comprehensive guide featuring high-resolution screenshots and expert tips for every stage of the build.

  • 3D Printing Optimization: Includes specialized advice on model orientation to minimize or eliminate the need for print supports.

  • Learning Assessment: Targeted questions to test your understanding of mass, volume, and tool functionality (e.g., Chamfer vs. Shell)

  • Professional Certification: All training materials are produced by an Autodesk Authorised Academic Partner.

Digital Download: Your purchase includes an instant download link to the full 27-page tutorial package.
