3D Printed Cultural Objects Designed by AIC Students to be Exhibited at Construct 3D in Atlanta

Students in the VDA course Art and Culture: A Global Look received a two-part assignment:

Part 1. Design a cultural object.

Part 2. Go to Tinkercad.com and create a 3D model of the cultural object you designed.

After assigning these projects, Professor John Nordell learned that in response to the absolute lack of cultural objects found on major online sites for 3D designs, the #0Things project was launched. The initiative encourages students to design artifacts that represent who they are and where they are from.

The #0Things cultural objects will be 3D printed and exhibited at Construct 3D 2018 in Atlanta, GA
