Let’s start by looking at the Front view of the Orientation Cube, so we can sketch out the profile. We can then reference the phone file as the Sweep’s path. That means we can create a sketch profile that wraps around the outer side of the phone. To create our phone case, we’ll want to use the Sweep command, as Sweep lets us define a shape that follows a specified path. This also makes it the desired orientation for 3D printing. This is not necessarily required, but I prefer to design the objects as they sit in real life. We can select the folder in the Items manager and use the rotation slider to rotate this 90 degrees. This file is also sitting in the wrong orientation, as I’d like it to lay flat on the bottom plane. Notice that imported data is automatically placed within a folder in the Items Manger. I’ll also link to some other recommended sites to find existing CAD data.Īfter selecting open, you’ll find that the STEP file is imported and now appears in our design. You can follow along using the Pixel 3 file that I’ve linked in the video description, or by finding a download of your phone on. The STEP format is a widely used data exchange format accepted by many CAD programs. You’ll generally want to use a STEP file when a native Sharp3D file is not available. To import CAD data, head to the File Menu > Import. We’ll look at importing 3rd-party files, projecting geometry, cutting with Extrude, and the Sweep command. I’m Kevin Kennedy, and today we’ll design a 3D printable phone case from existing CAD data. Welcome to Day #4 of Learn Shapr3D in 10 Days for Beginners.
