Tool Name: Tinkercad

Description:

Tinkercad is a 3D designing online tool that is a free and easy-to-use web app that equips the next generation of designers and engineers with the foundational skills for innovations including 3D designing, electronic circuit designing, and also coding!

As a group project, we have to create a 3D printable object that can be helpful for daily faced common problems. After the ideation phase helped us finalize the product to be developed (a compact case for wired earphones), we started practising and tinkering on how can we create the final product.

More to come on this yet...

Advantage

• Tinkercad is very easy to use.

• It is compatible with 3d printing. It is a proper tool which gives us solid 3d files needed for 3d printing.

• Tinkercad is fun to use.

• Must have tool for STEM teachers. It provides both electronics and coding features in a proper way.

• Collaboration work is possible.

Disadvantage

• Tinkercad is an online tool.

• Rendering options are very limited, nearly none.
