Tinkercad for 3D printing
Tinkercad is Autodesk’s web-based tool for creating 3D designs from simple shapes. It can be a starting point for learning design and making printable parts.
After designing, export a suitable mesh file and use a separate slicer to prepare printer settings and toolpaths.
Design a printable part
- Start with shapes. Create a 3D design and place, resize and combine basic shapes on the workplane.
- Check the model. Review the overall size, wall thickness and whether connected parts overlap appropriately for your intended print.
- Export and slice. Use Tinkercad’s export controls to create an STL for a 3D printer. Open it in your preferred slicer and confirm dimensions, orientation and support settings.
