One of the cool things about 3D printing is that you can print things that function in a practical way in your everyday life. One of my classmates (Emily Freeland) has designed numerous practical prints over the course of the semester. For our first project in Tinkercad, she design a key hook that you can hang on your wall.
Another practical thing she designed was for our Fusion 360 project. She designed a salt shaker here that actually works and can be used at a dinner table near you.
A third practical thing she designed was for our final class challenge. We had to fix a broken household object. She elected to fix a teaspoon that has a broken handle. To do so, she used Tinkercad to craft a new handle that slides over the existing fragmented one.
These prints show the practical aspect of 3D printing and how it can make the world a better place. To see more of Emily’s designs, check out her thingiverse page at https://www.thingiverse.com/emfree3/designs.
