Description
It is a cloud-based 3D modeling tool that encourages users to learn mathematics, computational thinking and coding concepts through visualization and design of 3D printable models.
Application in education
Its block-based programming interface is easy to use, so teachers and students spend less time getting started and more time on important content.
Functionalities
- Use variables to make a design that you can resize, such as a ring where you can specify the radius of the finger.
- Use loops to create uniform patterns in a design, such as the numbers on a clock or the rungs of a staircase.
- Use randomness in models, such as a forest randomly generated from different types of tree shapes
- Use conditional logic to add patterns to your shapes: turn every other ring in a line to make an interlocking chain.
- Use modules to build your own library of shapes for use in designs.
Advantages
- Access to the 3D editor
- Project and classroom management functions
- Data privacy compliance
