CAD Projects with Tinkercad | 3D Models Part 1: Learn how to create advanced 3D objects with Tinkercad in an easy way

By M.Eng. Johannes Wild

Important: If you do not have any previous knowledge about Tinkercad, you should first work through my basic book "Tinkercad  Step by Step". The general handling of Tinkercad is only repeated briefly at the beginning of this advanced 3D modeling book.

If you want to learn how to create great 3D models with the free Tinkercad software, then this book is perfect for you! I am an engineer (M.Eng.) and I would like to show you in a simple way how to design 3D parts in Tinkercad.
For this purpose, we will create the models shown on the book cover step-by-step. You will learn how to use the different functions of Tinkercad and how to build quite complex 3D models with it. In addition to designing 3D objects, you can also use Tinkercad for creating electronic circuits and programming. However, this book exclusively deals with the design of 3D models.

This book gives you a good, understandable and intuitive introduction to 3D design with Tinkercad! No matter what age you are, if you are still in school, if you are already an adult, if you are a student or a retiree, with the help of countless illustrations, you will learn easily and quickly. The software is fantastic and can be used by any age group. After a short general introduction to the design process in Tinkercad, we will learn step by step and in detail through four practical example projects.

This book is specifically designed for those who have only little previous knowledge of designing 3D models with Autodesk's Tinkercad. It is a sequel to the basic book "Tinkercad  Step by Step".

Chapter 1 | Introduction

Thank you so much for choosing this book!

Attention: If you have no previous knowledge of Tinkercad, you should first work through the basics book Tinkercad | Step by Step. More information can be found on the last pages of this book. The general operation of Tinkercad is only briefly repeated at the beginning of this book. 

If you are keen on learning how to create 3D models with the very versatile and also free program Tinkercad, then this book is perfect for you! I am an engineer (M.Eng.) and I would like to show you in a simple way how to design parts in Tinkercad.

In this book, we will create four great models together and step by step. You will learn how to use the individual functions of Tinkercad and how to build a 3D model with it.  With Tinkercad you can – besides designing 3D objects – also design electronic circuits and learn how to program. However, this book deals exclusively with the design of 3D models in Tinkercad. If you are also interested in electronics and programming, take a look at the book Arduino Projects with Tinkercad. You can find more details on the last pages of this book.

This book offers you an easy-to-understand and intuitive introduction to 3D design with Tinkercad! No matter what age you are, if you are still in school, if you are already an adult, if you are a student or a pensioner. The software is fantastic and can be used by any age group.

After a short general introduction to the construction with Tinkercad, we will get to know the great possibilities of Tinkercad step by step and in detail by means of four practical example projects with countless illustrations. This basic book is especially for those who have little or no previous knowledge in the design of 3D models with the software Tinkercad from Autodesk.

Chapter 2 | The operation of the CAD area of Tinkercad

Before we start with the CAD projects, you will find in this chapter a short introduction for using the program Tinkercad. If you have already read my basics book Tinkercad | Step by Step, you can either skim this chapter or skip it directly. Everyone who has no previous knowledge of Tinkercad should definitely work through this chapter. This chapter is also worthwhile for you if you haven't designed anything in Tinkercad for a while.

2.1 What is Tinkercad?

As you may already know, Tinkercad is an online platform of the company Autodesk, where you can realize projects of a technical nature. The term Tinkercad already contains the abbreviation CAD, which stands for Computer-Aided Design. With the help of CAD software, you can create 3D
