General Info
TinkerCAD.com is a browser based CAD/Drafting tool for creating 3D models suitable for 3D printing or importing into graphics engines in other programs like minecraft or animation programs.
- TinkerCAD uses modern browsers, so nothing needs to be installed on a user's computer. Everything runs in the cloud.
- TinkerCAD is super easy to learn and a great way to develop beginner CAD skills and 3D thinking.
- TinkerCAD is FREE, simply create an account and follow the intro lessons. http://www.tinkercad.com
Maker Station member Tanju Bayramoglu is a fan of tinkerCAD and has offered to host a class on it.
Feel free to reach out to him or the Board of Directors (info@themakerstation.com) to ask questions or request another class.
