As a student and current user of Tinkercad, I found it easy to make drawings and code. I designed a mangonel project. It gives knowledge about the working of abundant components. It has been helpful to me in providing the components and making 3D designs on a laptop screen when you can't afford these components in real life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tinkercad is designed for the education industry, but it can't be used without the internet. It has limited capabilities. It is difficult to zoom in or out. I prefer Tinkercad to beginners or students only. I think Tinkercad can provide option to give small information about the component. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you are starting on 3D modelling, Tinkercad is definitely the tool that you need to start using it. It is online (web based app), free, quite easy to use and you also can find many videos tutorials explaining how to modelling 3D objects using this tool on Youtube.

If your models grow in complexity and you need more precision and more details, like precision measurement tools, 2D to 3D views, then you will probably need to migrate to a more advanced tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple to you. Also freely available. Doesn't require a lot of time to learn to use. Also, the custom models are quite useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The scrolling and the viewing is a bit challenging. Especially when trying to visualize the 3D structures from from a lateral direction. Also, while making complex structures, the visibility of the separateness of the individual models (model margins) becomes difficult. Hence, leads to inaccuracy in construction and additional investment of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am entirely new to 3d-printing and -modeling, and Tinkercad is precisely the tool I was looking for: No installation required, intuitive user interface, easy to find helpful hints on youtube, and pretty powerful. So after a very short time, I felt I have a lot of power to turn my ideas into working designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Shape generators could be highly potent tools, but why do they contain so many arbitrary and unmotivated limitations? And once you try to work around these limitations, you find that support for shape generators has been discontinued, and there does not seem to be any usable replacement for them. What a pity...

Very scientifically accurate, can be used to prototype designs and test ideas with the wide range of components available. Very easy to use and the example circuits can be easily modified ie. LCD screen can then be modified to include other components. Really useful being able to build programs in it too and to test arduino code within the program. Allowed me to learn and understand arduino and electronics on a deeper level through seeing it modelled as in real life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some components are missing and there isn't an easy option to create a new component. Would be really useful also if it could allow downloads of a PCB design or integrate with a software like fritzing for the electronics. Could also explain how to wire components better or provide a user guide as some parts like the mosfet and transistor required external research to figure out how to use.

As someone who is new to 3D modeling, Tinkercad is a helpful introduction. Its interface is simple enough that a child could use it, but I'm still able to create basic models for my 3D printer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest downside to Tinkercad is that you quickly outgrow it. While it's fun to make basic models for my 3D printer, I wouldn't rely on Tinkercad professionally for anything more complicated than a project box. However, if you are looking to create a 3D model quickly without any prior modeling experience, this software comes in handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TInkercad is incredibly easy to learn and use. Myself, as well as several friends of mine, were able to go from no knowledge of the software to using it effectively for 3d printing simple parts in under an hour, which I can't say about any other 3d printing/slicing software I've used so far. Aside from how simple it is to learn, it's extremely quick to throw new prototypes together, and that's what it works best for. When you need something made up of simple shapes, and ideally that doesn't have to be professional quality or made to absolute perfection, there is nothing simpler than Tinkercad.

Tinkercad's simplicity also means it can't do everything well. It's best for simple prototyping or testing or combining simple shapes. If you're creating something complex requiring a lot of effort in designing and slicing, you would be better off using software that has more features (even though it also means a steeper learning curve).

I've been using this software with my son (age 10) for the last six months. The GUI is incredibly easy to use and there is loads of support via the help. I like the use of colour to enable you to differentiate between different shapes, and also lack of shape (ie a hole through a design). We loved the lessons which enabled us to get to grips with the concept of designing in 3D as well as giving us ideas for other creations. It's fun to use and so makes something that could be a chore, a pleasure instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found a way to rip a design directly to my printer, we have to use a third party software to do so. Otherwise I find it a great tool. I recommend accessing 'thingverse' for a catalogue of other people's uploaded designs which you can then use and adapt within TinkerCAD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really enjoy the easy to use interface. It makes it so people without any prior experience and beginner students can do what they want and design things they never thought they could before. I was able to teach my younger brother, someone with zero background in virtual design, how to use this program within minutes of showing it to him. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am not a huge fan of how limiting it can be. There are few things that I cannot design, but those few things can sometimes be frustrating without. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that it is very easy to use, especially for younger people. The Arduino components are really helpful for learning about the circuits Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lagging, with slower internet connections, TinkerCAD seems to lag a lot, therefore losing the unsaved or unloaded work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
