HRDF Course-3D Sculpting with Meshmixer Training

Do you need to clean up a 3D scan, do some 3D printing, or design an object that fits something else? Meshmixer can help. Meshmixer is a a free 3D Modeling and 3D Sculpting software. Think of Meshmixer as a sort of "Swiss Army Knife" for 3D meshes. This Meshmixer course will teach you all the key features about the software including the following topics:

• Drag-and-Drop Mesh Mixing
• 3D Sculpting and Surface Stamping
• Robust Convert-to-Solid for 3D printing
• 3D Patterns & Lattices
• Hollowing (with escape holes!)
• Branching Support Structures for 3D printing
• Automatic Print Bed Orientation Optimization, Layout & Packing
• Advanced selection tools including brushing, surface-lasso, and constraints
• Remeshing and Mesh Simplification/Reducing
• Mesh Smoothing and Free-Form Deformations
• Hole Filling, Bridging, Boundary Zippering, and Auto-Repair
• Plane Cuts, Mirroring, and Booleans
• Extrusions, Offset Surfaces, and Project-to-Target-Surface
• Interior Tubes & Channels
• Precise 3D Positioning with Pivots
• Automatic Alignment of Surfaces
