Make Skateboard Molds with Rhino
Rhino is a 3D modeling software that, while may look daunting, is actually a super intuitive tool for design. It's useful for making drawings, renderings, animations, files for 3D printing, and much more. This class will go over the interface and some basic commands to introduce the functionality of Rhino. After the introduction, we will learn how to model a fidget spinner ready to 3D print!
