To get the most out of this book

You will need a fundamental understanding of design software and computer principles, such as saving or opening files, to find success with this book.

Software/hardware covered in the book	Operating system requirements
Tinkercad	Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, or Linux
Cura	A web-enabled device with internet access
Fusion 360	A browser with the ability to run WebGL
Fused Filament Fabrication 3D Printers
Fused Deposition Modeling 3D Printers
Vat photopolymerization 3D printers

In addition to covering Tinkercad, the focus of this book, we will also look at commonly used CAM programs to manufacture our Tinkercad designs with 3D printers. Cura, Fusion 360, and other CAM programs will be highlighted, but are not required to get the most out of this book. However, you will need access to a CAM program compatible with your 3D printer if you choose to 3D print your models as shown in this book. For users without a 3D printer, printing services available will also be covered in this book.
