Exploring 3D Design, Circuits, and Codeblocks

It’s important to identify that Tinkercad is really three different applications combined into one platform. You can access all three of these applications from the same website using the same account, and you will see the options to create within these three spaces by pressing the Create button (see Figure 1.6).

In this section, you will learn about the differences between Tinkercad’s three different applications, as well as when you might want to consider using one over the other. Two things that all three of these applications have in common are that they automatically save your work as you create, and your files are stored online in Tinkercad’s cloud under your account.
