a thin material made from tree fibers, used for writing, printing and packaging

sheets made from layers of paper or paper pulp, used for packaging, printing and prototyping

the process of creating a representation of design

the basic shape or size a material is supplied in

Paper and boards properties, sources and stock forms

Design and technology

3D Modelling in Tinkercad

Modelling and assembling complex shapes in Tinkercad

Movement with mechanisms

Model a moving part in Tinkercad

Design and simulate in Tinkercad

CAD to CAM in Tinkercad

CAM, automation and laser cutting

Pupils will model with paper and boards and learn about sources and stock forms.  They will develop 3D computer-aided design knowledge and skills, applying this by designing and simulating mechanical systems using TinkerCAD.

Prototypes with mechanisms: robotics and automation

what is seen and interacted with on screen when using computer-aided design

the space used for designing on when using computer-aided design

moving the view from left to right or up and down

join two or more shapes together to make one shape

a drawing made up of straight or curved lines

a machine that can sense, think, and do tasks with some autonomy

make a copy of a shape and repeat its movement

a set of levers joined together to transfer and control motion

a mechanical component that converts rotary motion into linear motion

allows parts to rotate around another, like a wheel on an axle

allows parts to swing or rotate around a fixed point, like a door on a hinge

allows parts to move back and forth in a straight line, like a drawer

stays still and does not move during a simulation

physics based digital simulation of CAD models

physics based digital testing of CAD models

the extent to which a model is likely to fall over if a force is applied

an online computer-aided design application

the use of CAM, machines and software when manufacturing
