TinkerCAD is an open-source, kid-friendly digital computer-aided designing platform that enables users to design, create, modify, and print 3D objects, experiment with circuits, and even allow your kids to learn coding using blocks. This platform is great for students to learn the design process by combining multiple simple objects to make more complex shapes.

    I accidentally discovered TinkerCAD on a 3D printing forum. I was immediately blown away by how easy it was to setup the account and get started. It stores designs on the cloud which can be accessed from anywhere. The tool are simple and intuitive to access. You can even import files from other softwares and incorporate into your own design. Specially for regular 3D printing folks its a everyday tool that cannot be looked over, its literally like making LEGOs. Its fun to use, and is functional. If you get stuck, there's also a very nice forum with a very nice community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    What I like about TinkerCad is that I can simulate the code and compontents of the Arduino without implementing it on the physical way. We can test the functions and the circuits by the simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Tinkercad allows you to model both simple and more complex designs, of which, can then be downloaded for 3D printing (.STL or .OBJ) or laser cutting (.SVG). Tinkercad also gives you the abilty to draw circuits, as well as join online classrooms, these of which are further excellent features - making Tinkercad great for a learning environment, and a great introduction to the world of CAD.

    Las herramientas ofrecidas estan demasiado orientadas al aprendizaje de un usuario novel, por loq ue los resultados no sern nunca jams profesionales del todo. Es una herramienta ms bien educativa, y dentro de ese mbito cumple con creces y de sobra. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    As simple as the tool was, it caused for some difficulties. I found it hard to align some edges of certain forms absolutely perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    The program sometimes works a bit bad, not allowing us to work properly. That's why our mark is only a seven of ten Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    I have implemented Tinkercad in my classroom and train around Thirty-Six students every six months. I introduce reductive and additive sculpture, as well as 3D printing concepts in my training program. I use the projects provided by Tinkercad to reinforce the training program I have created to introduce the program. Most users have no CAD experience at the start and can create complex forms after two weeks.
    Tinkercad is a great baseline CAD program. This program is easy to implement and train people in. After on a short period of time my students are able to create complex forms using Tinkercads pre-generated shapes and holes. The Tinkercad provided projects aid in pushing the learning experience even further and reinforce the ideas that I train on and help my students explore the program before designing their own complex sculptural forms.

    I use Autodesk Tinkercad to develop promotional and educational materials for my non-profit organization. The program has a user-friendly interface that allows you to create custom 3D models that are easy to export and print. You can also use the program to add logos or text to existing models. I often use it to add 3D labels to models of artifacts for our museum, or even to create brail labels for visually impaired visitors. I also use the program to create unique and memorable gifts for donors.
    Excellent workspace. User-friendly interface for 3D modeling. Easy to import and modify existing models. High-quality exports in all major formats.

    Tinkercad is a great tool for simplistic design. It is perfect for anyone without a CAD background with a simple and intuitive interface. I've used this to make simplistic objects that were then easily exported for 3D printing. This is also great for kids as sort of a first CAD program.

    Overall, it works and I've had a good experience with it. I think for elementary students more needs to be streamlined and simplified before I fell comfortable using it with my younger kids in my STEM classroom. I enjoy that it is a great free resource and think it is great exposure to CAD design but can cause frustration with how to toggle around different tools and such.

    TinkerCAD is a user-friendly 3D design tool suitable for beginners, making it a good option for those looking for a simple tool to create 3D models. However, it may not be suitable for more complex or detailed design projects.

    I have used Tinkercad to create some 3D models, modify some 3D models from online repositories. I have found it easy to use for very simple model creation / modification.

    I use TinkerCAD to design parts for instruments and my own creations to be 3D printed.
