Theory
๐น๏ธ 22. Hit the shape with different metal.
๐ Starting Your 3D Design:
- ๐ Begin a new 3D design.
- ๐ฑ๏ธ Click on ‘Design’ on the left side.
- ๐ Select ‘Create’ and then choose ‘3D Design’.
๐จ Choosing and Resizing Basic Shapes:
- ๐ Select and modify basic shapes.
- ๐ฒ Find ‘Basic Shapes’ on the right side.
- ย โขย Pick a box shape and adjust its size using the white squares.
- ๐ต Repeat for other shapes like a cylinder, ball, and cone, adjusting their sizes.
๐ Changing Materials of Shapes:
- ๐ง Give different physical properties to your shapes.
- ๐ Access the Sim Lab (apple icon) on the upper options.
- ๐งฑ For each shape (box, cylinder, ball, cone), change the material:
- โฌ Click on the shape.
- ๐จ Select ‘Material’ and choose a different material (e.g., steel, bouncy rubber, soft wood, ice).ย
- ๐ Observe how the appearance changes with different materials.
๐ Simulating and Observing the Effects:
- ๐ฎ See how different materials react when objects interact.
- ๐น๏ธ Start the simulation by pressing ‘Play’.
- ๐งช Observe the reactions when a ball hits them:
- ๐ช Bouncy rubber makes the ball bounce off.
- ๐ชต Soft wood might absorb some impact.
- โ๏ธ Ice can make the ball slide or fall off.
- ๐ช Steel typically remains stationary due to its weight.
- ๐ Take note of the differences in material reactions.
๐ฏ Wrapping Up:
- ๐ Conclude your design session.
- ๐ Stop the simulation when you’ve observed different effects.
- ๐งช Experiment by changing materials or adding more shapes.
- ๐พ Don’t forget to save your project for future reference.
Congratulations! You’ve explored the intriguing world of material interactions in Tinker cad. Keep experimenting and honing your design skills as you move forward. Your understanding of how different materials behave will be a valuable asset in your 3D design journey.
