There is an ease of use and entry to Tinkercad as well as an abundance of video resources available. If you can use in conjunction with a platform like weareprintlab.com you can take your work to a whole other level. Pros First and foremost it is free, as an educator a free product is like gold. There is a great easy of use to Tinkercad as well, I have 3rd grade students designing and 3D printing! I really like that Tinkercad is also owned by a professional CAD software company, so student get a feel for pro tools without the struggle of the pro tools. It is also great that tinkercad is updating often so not only can you 3D design, but now there is the ability to build with microbits, circuits, and more. You can also have students design even if you don't have the option of 3D printing. Students can design vehicles, houses, landscapes, and more. The best is that their ability to showcase as a 3D model in the end. Cons I would like to see an integration with a LMS like Google Classroom, but other than that it's great.

Additive manufacturing Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best 3D software for beginners" July 17, 2021 5.0 It's been a great experience usingTinkercad, I use it for educational purposes, teaching college students how to design and 3D print. Pros Tinkercad is easy to learn and use, being web based, this makes it perfect cause you can work on your project from anywhere, just login on any system and you are good to go. The primitives eliminates the need for 2D sketching and makes it easy to quickly model for educational purposes. Cons Bad internet connection can frustrate you since it's a web based software. Also, it's difficult to use in modeling complex designs as it only offer primitives,. It lack tools needed for modeling complex designs, for example creating 2D and extruding or revolving tools.

September 12, 2020 5.0 During this pandemic situation, with this tool i am able to show others how to use arduino circuits and use them, without providing them the real time hardware. They are loving the way of studying it. and also for my projects i did a simulation program that impressed the teachers. Pros The ease of access of 3d designing, simple yet useful "to the point" tools. I mostly liked about the simulation of arduino circuits, Its very simple to simulate the real time arduino circuits. Recommended for beginners. Cons Real time power measurement is not that much accurate in the circuits section. Advanced simulation is still yet to consider for heavy applications.

Pros TinkerCAD is web based, so it takes up no space on your computer. This also means that if you share your file with someone else, they need only access the website; no additional software required. Cons TinkerCAD was developed as an educational tool, so it lacks many of the features you might find in a traditional CAD program. Review Source Daniel R. Student Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best basic circuit simulator i ever tried" June 24, 2021 5.0 I really like to use this software and more during quarantine because it was a very good way to "build" circuits without the need of the physical component but whit the same learning Pros I only use the circuit simulator and it is great, i love how they represent like if you have it in physic so you can really understand the way they need to be connected no just the symbolic way like almos any other circuit simulator. Also the fact that you can work with an arduino, motor and measurement devices in the software is amazing Cons I really can't think some thing that i didn't like about, it is all you need in a basic circuit and even a little bit more Review Source Kyle E. Primary Printer and Designer Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "So simple for beginners" October 12, 2022 5.0 Pros I love being able to pull this up on any browser and continue my design.
