What You’ll Learn

Class 1: Design Basics – Curves & Views

Learn the fundamentals of Shape3D by exploring the Top, Side, and Couple views and using control points to shape your board's outline, rocker, and foil. You’ll walk away with a first draft of your own board and a strong understanding of how curves define the board’s design.

Class 2: Resizing & Modifying Boards

Learn how to adjust your board’s size, proportions, and foil by working with control points, slices, and curve handles. This class focuses on refining your shape to match your vision—and making it smoother, cleaner, and more intentional.

Class 3: Avoiding Mistakes & Preparing for Print

In this final session, you'll learn how to spot and fix common beginner mistakes, clean up your design, and prepare your board for 3D printing. We'll cover checking foil consistency, simplifying structure, and exporting for a scaled prototype.

Each session ends with Q&A and an optional design homework prompt to keep you learning between classes.
