So we select the right turning arrows next to the object and turn it 90 degrees. Since the rounded roof is upside down, we first need to turn it. You can find the round roof at the right-hand side next to the other geometric shapes. Therefore, we will drag and drop a ‘round roof’ on the workplane. Next, we will add some rounded ends to this box. Adding, Turning & Grouping Elements in Tinkercad Let’s pull our object to a length of 35mm.ģ. Pulling and pushing on these dots changes the size of the object. To do this, we click on one of the black little dots at the sides of the red box. Next, we want our label to be more rectangular. Click on the little white box on the top surface and pull it down to 3mm.ĭid something not work as planned? Simply click on the ‘Undo’ button at the top of the screen to get back to the previous stage. For this tutorial, we want to create a basic suitcase label with a height of 3mm. Changing Sizes and Shapes in Tinkercadīy default, our box is 20mm high.
You can then turn the angle of your view with the right mouse button, and navigate around your workplane by holding down the mouse wheel (not zooming in or out, but simply keeping it pressed). To get a better view of the box we will zoom in with our mouse wheel. Once placed on your workplace, you can see a number of arrows and dots on and around your box (if your box is selected: if not, click on it now). Simply drag and drop the box from the menu to the workplane. Using the toolbar on the right-hand side, you can create basic geometric shapes such as boxes, pyramids, spheres, etc. Select geometric objects from the right-hand side. The best way to get started is to click on ‘Geometric’ on the right-hand side. You will end up adding these together or subtracting them in order to create holes or hollow objects. You will mostly work with pre-defined shapes and geometric structures.
Choose ‘start a new project’ to get to your empty workplane.įrom here, Tinkercad follows a ‘LEGO’ approach. It’s recommended to follow these instructions – but you can always skip them by clicking on the ‘exit lesson’ button at the top. Tinkercad will automatically start with its first tutorial. After creating an account you can directly access the browser-based app. To get started, hop over to Tinkercad’s website. So let’s create our first 3D print in less than 30 minutes with this beginner-friendly Tinkercad tutorial! No previous 3D modeling experience needed, and best of all: this 3D design app is totally free. Autodesk’s Tinkercad app is probably the easiest, most accessible and most fun 3D modeling application for creating your first 3D print.
