Technical requirements
In this chapter, we will look at tools and resources that are not required but recommended to find greater success through advanced CAD techniques. We will look at a range of devices that are well suited for Tinkercad, all of which must have the ability to run WebGL in the browser. Visit https://get.webgl.org/ to determine whether your device is compatible.
Having a computer mouse rather than a touchpad may increase the ease of use when working with Tinkercad. A touchscreen-enabled device may also allow for a more intuitive workflow for younger users, or for users with fine motor disabilities.
You also may need a pencil or writing utensil, as well as paper or a sketchbook to collect your thoughts and brainstorm your designs. Rulers or calipers are also key tools to take detailed measurements of parts or components for your designs.
Additionally, the example models shown in this chapter can be obtained through the following links:
