In this 4 part series on how to use FormZ software, designer and lecturer Belinda Dunstan explains in a series of examples on how to prepare files for 3D printing. Resources created for the UNSW College of Art and Design.

1. Getting Started in FormZ – FormZ Basics for 3D Printing

This video gives an overview of the 3D modelling software Form Z, to prepare you to set up files for 3D printing.

2. Revolve Tool & Prepping STL Files – FormZ Basics for 3D Printing

This video introduces you to the revolve tool in FormZ for making more complex shapes, and explains how to prepare your files for output in STL format ready for the 3D printer.

3. Reshape Tools and Boolean Operations

This video explores the range of reshape tools and boolean operations available in FormZ. These will help you create more organic and complex shapes that you can output on a 3D printer.

4. Subdivision, Materials & Textures – FormZ Basics for 3D Printing

This video explains how you can create complex shapes in FormZ using the process of subdividing existing forms. It also explains how you can apply materials and textures to your 3D model.
