What Is "Tinkercad"?

Tinkercad is a simple, online 3D design and 3D printing app for everyone.

Tinkercad is used to make toys, prototypes, home decor, Minecraft models, jewelry and many more things.

How it works:

1. Place

Shapes are basic building blocks of Tinkercad. A shape can add or remove material. Import your own, or work with existing shapes.

2. Adjust

Move, rotate and adjust shapes freely in space. Use tools like the ruler to input exact dimensions.

3. Combine

Group together a set of shapes to create models as detailed as you want.
