Tinkercad, an Innovative Approach to 3D Design

Tinkercad launched in 2011 as an entirely new way to create 3D designs. Owned by Autodesk, one of the largest computer-aided design (CAD) companies in the business, Tinkercad now has over 80 million users worldwide. But unlike other CAD programs, Tinkercad allows users to create 3D models through an intuitive approach. Designing in Tinkercad feels more like working with toy blocks rather than traditional methods, but without losing the ability to create uniquely incredible designs.
