3D Designing is an extraordinary expertise and it's valuable in rejuvenating thoughts by making 3D layered models. In this tutorial  article, we are making a 3D model of a card holder utilising SelfCAD. SelfCAD is one of the easiest, but amazing 3D design programs that you can use to get ready both basic and complex plans effortlessly.

Starting with designing the cube shape, we will transform it with devices like edge selection, face Selection, Move, Scale, etc. SelfCAD is one of the most astounding 3D Modelling Software, including different features used to design the 3D-Objects. This tutorial article  guides the usage of extrusion tools to make our desired shape without disturbing the whole development.

In this way, we should begin!!



Insert Two Cubes of Different Dimensions

First of all, from the 3D shapes insert a cube to the working interface. Set the width to 156 and height to 50. Then insert another cube to the working interface. Set width to 40, height to 91, depth to 73, and position z to 66.

Select the Top Face of the Cube and Delete It

Next, deselect mesh_8 and select the mesh_4. Opt for the face selection and select the top face of the cube. Then delete the selected face.

Add Thickness to It and Move It

Now, go to modify and select the add thickness tool. Set the thickness to 1. Then deselect mesh_4 and select mesh_8 and move it along the y axis to an amount of 2, using the move tool.

Subtract the Mesh and And Copy the Bottom Face

Next, we will go to the stitch and scoop and select the difference option. Choose mesh_8 to subtract. Then select the bottom face of the object and click on the copy button to copy it.

Scale the Face

Now, we will select the scale tool and set the z to 113. Then from the utilities, select the flip normals option.

Extrude the Bottom Corner Edge

Next, we will opt for the edge selection and select the bottom corner edge of the cube as shown in the image. Then from the modify category, select the extrusion tool. Set the amount to 65.

Extrude the Selected Edge Again

Now, choose the extrusion tool again and set the amount to 104. Then again extrude the selected edge with an amount of 30.

Add Thickness to Them and Make Them a Union

Next, select the add thickness tool and set the thickness to 1. Then, select both the profiles and go to the stitch and scoop. After that, make them a union.

CONCLUSION: THEREFORE WE HAVE CREATED a 3D CARD HOLDER IN SelfCAD

We've utilised various kinds of tools of SelfCAD to 3D design the card holder. We have generally used the extrusion tool to change the cube to make the 3D model of the card holder. extrusion is one of the main tools of SelfCAD, and you can apply it in various designs as well. Aside from sorting out some way to 3D model the item, you can utilise a comparative system in 3D designing various models in SelfCAD. After you are done 3D modelling, you can involve free programming for 3D printing to set them up for 3D printing by cutting and producing G-code that you can ship off your printer.
