Tinkercad is a 3D design and electronics application for Android developed by Autodesk. Users are able to build complex models, simulate electronic circuits, and develop code-based projects.
Building
This is a secure 3D modeling workspace where users can create objects by dragging, resizing, and combining shapes. The app supports grouping, hole creation and alignment tools to enhance precision. Thus, it is possible to design prototypes, educational projects and even printing.
There is a wide range of components like LEDs, resistors, sensors and microcontrollers. The built-in simulator allows testing of circuits before physical assembly. Students and engineers can experiment with electronics properly before the production process.
Programming
The app provides an interactive coding environment. You are able to program Arduino boards supporting various input and output devices. It is possible to simulate projects without needing physical hardware, enabling faster iteration and learning.
Additionally, all projects are automatically saved to the cloud, meaning you can access your work from any device. Moreover, you may upload your files to other well-known platforms like OneDrive and Dropbox.
