Course Overview

The 3D Design & Printing for Robotics (Shape-Based Engineering Course) at Futurise introduces students to the basics of 3D design and robotics engineering. Using Tinkercad, students will create 3D models from simple shapes and design parts for robotics projects. They will then bring their designs to life using the Creality Ender-3 V3 SE 3D printer.

This hands-on course at Futurise helps students develop creativity, spatial thinking, and problem-solving skills while learning to think like engineers and designers. By the end of the program, students will confidently design and print their own 3D creations.

Topics Covered in 3D Design & Printing for Robotics

• Introduction to 3D Printing & Safety
• Cube – Designing the Robot Body
• Rectangular Prism – Building the Robot Chassis
• Cylinder – Creating the Robot Wheel
• Sphere – Designing the Robot Head / Dome
• Cone – Sensor Tip or Decorative Element
• Pyramid – Creating a Strong Structure
• Triangular Prism – Support & Stability Design
• Torus – Designing the Robot Tyre
• Final Project – Build & Print Your Own Mini Robot

Who Can Join

• Kids aged 6 years and above
• Beginners interested in 3D design and robotics
• Students who enjoy hands-on learning, creativity, and technology

No prior experience is required. Students will learn to design using Tinkercad and bring their ideas to life with the Creality Ender-3 V3 SE 3D printer.
