Who is Tinkercad for?
The short answer is everyone. As mentioned, Tinkercad is an incredibly easy program to access making it suitable for a wide range of communities, schools, DIYers, and professionals alike. Because of the intuitive nature of the user interface, Tinkercad is often used by young creators who have never created with CAD before.
However, all users who are new to CAD could benefit from the simplicity of creation through Tinkercad’s interface, regardless of age. Learning to design in 3D can be challenging at first, and using a simple program allows for all users to become proficient faster. Many also may think that Tinkercad can’t be used for complex creations, which isn’t the case.
As shown in Figure 1.4, you can use Tinkercad to create multi-part designs using specific dimensions, or measurements, using the Ruler tool:
