Many training courses and tutorials are available on the subject of 3D design for 3D printing. So if you set your mind on particular software to master, the table below will help you to compare the courses and chose the right one for you. As usual, we leave some tips and tricks, and point out why an online interactive course is better than a random YouTube tutorial.<\/p>\n

\u201c3D design\u201d has a very wide notion. It comprises so many different aspects, like animation, rigging, painting, texturing, sculpting, rendering, etc. So before you choose the right course, you have to make sure that there is an option to transition to 3D printing. In other words, if you are a beginner and want to learn 3D design for 3D printing, the course should include a magic \u201c3D printing\u201d keyword in their title and the description, or at least one lesson is dedicated to it.<\/p>\n

Online Interactive Course vs YouTube Tutorials<\/h2>\n

\u2013 Disruption.<\/strong>\u00a0Advertisement and clickbait thumbnails that come up in YouTube tutorials may tear your FOCUS to nothing, letting procrastination to sit deeper in. If you paid for the course or are taking a trial on a specialized platform, there should be no disruptive advertisement. Moreover, tutors are interested in you finishing the course successfully as they more likely want to sell you an additional training in the future.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Updates.<\/strong>\u00a0A well-maintained interactive course gets updated regularly. This does not apply to a YouTube tutorial which may become out-dated quickly. Any well-edited and to-the-point tutorial may become irrelevant in a few months as the software developers publish a newer version.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Organization.<\/strong>\u00a0Various 3D printing software have different tools and functionalities which may be difficult to remember in full. Short videos provided in a course serve as a well-organized bookshelf. It is great to have the opportunity to use these recordings as a refresher and to come back for a particular hint or two.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Grinding Game Effect.<\/strong>\u00a0It reminds us of the grinding games\u2019 effect. Some time ago, we used to play grinding games like World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2. We noticed that on the completion of a quest we felt a so-called Dopamine rush. The same achievement satisfaction comes from the completion of step-by-step tasks in the course. And no doubt, the biggest satisfaction comes when a freshly designed model is finally 3D printed.<\/p>\n

We tried such courses ourselves and we can confirm that there is a big potential. Check our thorough\u00a0review of Blender 2.8 3D design for 3D printing training by PTT<\/a>. A 4-week crash course gave us the needed push that we missed, equipped us with the basic tools. We often come back to those short videos if we have to revise something for a new 3D design project.<\/p>\n

The recent years have seen an explosion of interest in the myriad of tools to create professional-quality 3D computer-aided designs. As computing processing power just gets cheaper and cheaper, complex software that used to be available only to multimillion-dollar commercial organizations and elite design studios is now available to pretty much anyone with a decent laptop. One such software is\u00a0Fusion 360 by Autodesk. Let\u2019s see why it is worth learning<\/a>\u00a0and check one of the best courses available online.<\/p>\n
