[1] Since it became available in 2011 it has become a popular platform for creating models for 3D printing as well as an entry-level introduction to constructive solid geometry in schools.

[3] In 2011, the tinkercad.com website was launched as a web-based 3D modeling tool for WebGL-enabled browsers,[4] and in 2012 the company moved its headquarters to San Francisco.

Tinkercad also includes a feature to export 3D models to Minecraft Java Edition,[11] and also offers the ability to design structures using Lego bricks.

[12] Tinkercad also has the option to test designs in "sim lab" using axle, motor, joint, and slider connectors, and simulates gravity.

Despite being an entry-level tool for programming and electronics, Tinkercad offers advanced features such as multi-board simulation and complex analog circuits for experienced users.
