05 Nov FabLab ModelMaker Tutorials
This post contains all of my old FabLab ModelMaker tutorials that I posted to YouTube a couple of years ago. This content is more or less for me and my work with K-12 teachers. However, feel free to use or share!
Tools & Palettes
Learn the basic areas in FabLab ModelMaker as well as important tools that are used while designing.
