CAD Furniture Design

This Furniture Design Challenge is a middle school project I use with my Gateway to Technology (GTT) courses. It is a great way to close out the year after your students have some CAD foundations and experience with Extrude, Revolve, Loft, Patterns, etc.  I had students take the models a step further and upload rendered images from OneRender to an e-Business furniture store website, as well as create Augmented Reality poses in GoMeta.io so that they can see the furniture pose on their mobile devices in any room!

    Do you 3D print parts, furniture  that the students create?

    Sorry for the late response. I have in the past, yes. You usually have to do some scaling and creative positioning to get them just right (supports usually help). Feel free to follow me on twitter, I share a lot of coursework there. @KevinWhiteSD
    I am going to be adding more to my OnShape Chess Set Project as well in a few weeks once I finish up the updated video screencasts. Excited to share that one too, it is a favorite among Middle School students!
