3D Designing is ending up being remarkable in different fields. With 3D designing, one creates 3D models that can be utilised in advertising and in different regions and they can likewise be 3D printed. In this tutorial article, we will be making some 3D wireframe objects in SelfCAD. Expecting you have not been aware of it yet, SelfCAD is one of the most simple-to-utilise yet strong 3D modelling software for clients, all things considered. We chose to involve SelfCAD as it has every one of the key components one expects for their 3D demonstrating and 3D printing undertakings. 

To 3D design these wireframe objects, we will start with the 3D shapes, then transform it with tools like inset, Add Thickness, scale, move, etc.

Thus, how about we begin!

Follow the steps below

Insert a Spiral Generator and a Torus

First of all, from the 3D shape generator, choose the spiral generator. Set the top radius to 10, bottom radius to 50, height to 70, top thickness to 1, bottom thickness to 1 and edges to 11. Then from the 3D shapes insert a torus and set the ring radius to 10, tube radius to 2, tubular segments to 14 and position y to 67.

Insert Another Torus and Select the Spiral Object

Next, insert another torus and set the ring radius to 42, tube radius to 2, and tubular segments to 14. Then select spiral_1 and from the tools category select the copy offset option.

Create Copies of It and Group Them

Now, set the operation to pivot and the amount of copies to 11. Then go to the edit menu and choose the group.

Make Them a Union

First of all, from the 3D shapes insert an icosahedron to the working interface. Set radius to 80. Then from the deform category, choose the flatten tool. Set y to 123.

Move It and Inset It

Next, select the move tool and set y to 0. Then go to the modify category and select the inset tool. Set amount to 1.

Delete the Selected Faces and Insert a Sphere

Now, select the faces as shown in the image and delete them. Then insert a sphere and set its radius to 28 and position z to 72.

Add Thickness to It

Next, opt for the face selection and select mesh_4. Then from the modify category, select the add thickness tool. Set the thickness to 3.

Subtract the Masses

Now, we will select both the objects, go to stitch and scoop and select the difference option. Choose mesh_8 to subtract.

CONCLUSION: THEREFORE, WE HAVE CREATED SOME 3D WIREFRAME OBJECTS IN SelfCAD

We made some basic 3D wireframe objects utilising SelfCAD. You can use a similar method to 3D design various models effortlessly. After you are done with 3D modelling, you can utilise the in-constructed slicer of SelfCAD to create the G-Code that you can ship off your 3D printer for 3D printing.
