Introduction to 3D Modeling with Onshape: A Tutorial for Students

This video tutorial introduces students to 3D modeling using Onshape, a platform for creating digital models. The instructor provides an overview of the assignment, which involves creating various block shapes. Detailed instructions are given on how to access Onshape, set up accounts, and follow file naming conventions. The tutorial also covers the use of Onshape tools, such as sketching and extruding, to create 3D models. Students are encouraged to explore additional tools like the trim tool for their projects.
