This technology allows you to name parts and change all of the dimensions or angles of that part in a single edit.

The first game-changing feature is Fusion 360’s parametric modeling. While there are some limitations on the personal version, it still has an insane amount of features. Fusion 360 is made by Autodesk, which you may be familiar with as the company behind AutoCAD and Maya. What makes it good for beginners is the fact that it’s free for personal use. But it also has a nice interface that is very simple for beginners to use. Teachers from Canada, Slovenia, Lithuania, Latvia and Malta may also apply, due to specific agreements with ESA.Fusion 360 is often considered the best 3D modeling software because of its wide range of features and capabilities. The online training is open to primary and secondary school teachers of STEM-related subjects residing and working within any ESA Member State.

If your team is joining the Moon Camp Discovery or Explorers you will have to create your 3D Design using Autodesk Tinkercad. Tinkercad is a free, easy-to-use web-based app for 3D design. This 3D design software is easy to use even for young children. This training will also help you see how to further explore the topic of 3D design with your students by joining the Moon Camp Challenge, an educational school project run by ESA and Airbus Foundation in collaboration with Autodesk, where students 3D design their own lunar shelter adapted to the harsh environmental conditions on the Moon. In this workshop you will be introduced to some cutting edge applications of 3D printing in space. This ESA Education teacher training online course in collaboration with Airbus Foundation, on the topic of "3D design in education" will introduce the 3D design software Tinkercad, its use in education and relate it to space applications. You will also learn how to use this software to combine 3D design and coding and how to simulate a virtual circuit with an ArduinoģD Design and 3D printing are increasingly relevant topics in the space industry and other branches of business.

How will this future Moon infrastructure be constructed? One possibility is to 3D print it! The next step in human space exploration is to further explore our natural satellite and build a permanent base on the Moon.
