Now that you have your car profile sketch, it’s time to bring it to life in Tinkercad (or other software)! Follow these steps to transform your 2D concept into a 3D model:
1. Base Structure
- Start with a rectangular shape as the main body of your car.
- Use the scale tool to match the proportions of your sketch.
2. Shaping the Body
- Use wedges and cylinders to carve out curves and aerodynamic features.
- Utilize the hole tool to cut out sections for windows and wheel wells.
- Experiment with rounding edges by combining different shapes.
3. Adding Details
- Insert cylinders for wheels, making sure they align with your design.
- Add a roof, spoilers, or vents based on your concept.
- Use smaller shapes to create lights, grilles, or other features.
4. Final Adjustments
- Group your shapes to create a single, cohesive model.
- Double-check proportions and symmetry.
- If needed, refine any details to match your original vision.
Once complete, export your 3D model and prepare it for 3D printing
