Tinkercad is a web service for creating 3D-objects, which is used to create simple prototypes of decorative elements, jewelry, toys and various items for further printing. You can use the features of the editor for free and without restrictions. It works in all current web browsers.
The service can be used by everyone whose work or hobby is related to 3D modeling: designers, artists, modelers, jewelers, employees of 3D printing studios. The resource may be of interest to those who are just beginning to master 3D-graphics and are not ready to pay money for professional software. It will also be useful for those who often work on different computers and do not want to install the appropriate applications on each one.
Working with Tinkercad is done directly in the browser – you can create unique objects, finalize them and immediately send them to print. Ready simple shapes are grouped together to create more complex models. For example, miniature vehicles, characters or architectural structures. Works with all existing printers as it supports standard STL files. Previously created and third-party objects are imported in one click into the Tinkercad window where editing is done. There are tools for collaboration. It is enough to add another user to the project, and he will have access to viewing and editing. All projects created in Tinkercad are stored in cloud storage. They can be easily accessed by simply logging in to the site with your account.

Autodesk produces a variety of programs for different industries. TinkerCAD is perfect for beginners in 3D design, it allows you to make something cool. You can export your model in STL and any other format and send it off to be printed on a 3D printer. Once you get the experience you need, you may need a more sophisticated program like AutoCAD. That said, TinkerCAD is still a great program to start your 3D design career.
