Friendly user interface and predefined shapes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficulties in dimensioning of model and pocket operations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tinkercad is software that only requires an Internet connection and a browser to operate. It is free, has a user-friendly interface, and requires very little learning time so that in a few hours you can have your first creations ready, which can be exported in STL format to print from a 3D printer. It is especially designed to be used even by children and those with little knowledge in this area, as it has never been presented as a professional application, but rather seeks simplicity and initiation into three-dimensional printing. It is completely free and it is possible to access a repository of files with creations from other users. If we wish, we can also share our designs there for everyone to see.

As I have already mentioned, Tinkercad is too simple for a user looking for a more professional tool. It is impossible to obtain very complex designs. It should also be mentioned that it is necessary to have an Internet connection to use it, as well as to register beforehand with an email address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ability to drag and drop basic shapes, import external shapes, and the intuitive interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it is over-simple, import options are limited in size, and any modifications beyond fairly basic shapes are tricky Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s more intuitive than SketchUp and easier to learn, which is a great advantage in educational contexts, as it is difficult to give up working hours to learn curves. Shapes can be stretched, reshaped, copied and pasted, grouped, and various shapes joined to create a new shape. A blank canvas is included as a shape generator that lets you create custom and unique shapes. Shapes can also be imported from designs created in other software or from URLs.

It doesn’t work offline and There are limits to what you can design with this program however. Because this program uses geometric shapes, it can be difficult to get really creative because you can’t really draw freeform shapes to exactly what you want to draw. You have to understand how to do it within the provided forms and limitations of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am able to teach my class on 3D design and printing effortlessly. My students have had no problem using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tinkercad is excellent on both computers and tablets although it works best on a computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that Tinkercad is so easy to use and adapt for education. I used it as a starting point for computer aided designing in my 9th grade art track classes, for jewelry design. We created 3D printed jewelry designs. The students had never worked on a computer for designing but were so excited about using the program that they worked on them in class and in school.

I find understanding 3D space is very confusing for many. I think that it would be helpful for a beginners tutorial on understanding 3D space, x,y, and z axis. I like many of my students, got my pieces lost in space many times because I could not "understand" how to connect the spaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tinkercad is easy to use and allows for fairly complex designs to be created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some advanced features that programs like Autodesk offer that Tinkercad does not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tinkercad is excellent. It is free, fun, elegant, intuitive, powerful, and versatile. It works online, from the browser, without installations, you just have to register, and soon you will be in front of an intuitive interface that will make things much easier for you when creating amazing pieces that you can export and print on your 3D printer. Additionally, you can share or access and download numerous models and examples created by other people who share them selflessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The worst part is that by operating online, it can sometimes "freeze." The tools offered are too oriented towards the learning of a novice user, so the results will never be entirely professional. It is more of an educational tool, and within that scope, it more than fulfills its purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, many models to start from, good UI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

limited in some cases for creating complicated models or rendering big models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Tinkercad is that it works without requiring any installation on your computer, and all your projects are saved in the cloud, making it possible to make them public and accessible to other users. Tinkercad is a 3D graphics editor, with a very complete and intuitive control panel, and although it is clearly aimed at a young and less experienced audience, with skill and experience, amazing creations can be seen in the Tinkercad user community. Additionally, a Tinkercad project can be exported as a file to be printed on a plastic 3D printer easily and quickly. Tinkercad requires an email account to register but is free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is missed that in addition to being made public, it could be possible to work collaboratively on the designs among several members of a work group. Another unfavorable aspect is that although the interface is very intuitive, it is not easy to get used to it from the beginning; it requires some time to get accustomed, although in general, the learning curve is not very steep, in about an hour one gets used to the design tool panel. With this, I mean that although the youngest can use it, it should be emphasized that they will need patience. As I mentioned before, Tinkercad falls short for someone looking for a professional 3D design tool. Therefore, I have nothing bad to say about Tinkercad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
