Considered Both Products	Autodesk Verified User Chose Autodesk Tinkercad Autodesk Tinkercad is by far the most user-friendly 3D modeling program I have used, especially for basic 3D modeling tasks. MeshLab and MeshMixer have similar functions but are far more complicated to navigate and difficult to use. These programs also tend to crash frequently, … Incentivized Helpful? Doug Mancosky Chief Science Officer in Research & Development at Hydro Dynamics, Inc. (Machinery, 11-50 employees) Chose Autodesk Tinkercad Tinkercad has a fraction of the capabilities but is also a fraction of the price. Most of the tools of SOLIDWORKS are overkill for the average user anyway. The software is also much more intuitive comparatively without the need for training (like we're talking there are … Incentivized Helpful? Karee Smith Stem teacher at Minnehaha Academh (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Autodesk Tinkercad PTC Creo is a more professional software and is great and I used it for many years at my old job, but tinkercad is great for younger students in my opinion and it is nice that it can be accessed online and as a teacher it seems easier to manage. It also has more kid friendly … Incentivized Helpful? Nathan Morimitsu Social Media and Marketing Adminstrator in Corporate at H2 Manufacturing Solutions (Aviation & Aerospace, 1-10 employees) Chose Autodesk Tinkercad Tinkercad is free and easy to use. It's a great place for people to start learning about 3D Design before they invest time and money in professional-level tools. Incentivized Helpful? Melissa Hill Adjunct Assistant Professor at Old Dominion University (Higher Education, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Autodesk Tinkercad The alternative programs are all Autodesk programs and they are great and have many more functions than Tinkercad but are much harder and time consuming to learn. Tinkercad requires no downloading and is the most basic CAD program I have found on the market. It is also free and … Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	Autodesk I have found that Autodesk Tinkercad is best for creating simple 3D models for printing. I use it to add text or modifications to 3D models of artifacts for my museum, including labels and support structures for artifacts to stand on. I also use it to create promotional materials, like 3D models of artifacts with our logo on them, which we can print and pass out at events. I would not use Autodesk Tinkercad for more complex 3D modeling or editing 3D models. It's really designed for basic creation and modification, and in those areas it is extremely useful!

Pros	Autodesk Tinkercad is a great baseline CAD program. This program is easy to implement and train people in. After on a short period of time my students are able to create complex forms using Tinkercads pre-generated shapes and holes. The Tinkercad provided projects aid in pushing the learning experience even further and reinforce the ideas that I train on and help my students explore the program before designing their own complex sculptural forms.

Cons	Autodesk The tutorials could be more easily readable and easier for younger students Sometimes confusing how to use the mouse tools vs on an iPad Less professional, not often used in career fields Incentivized Karee Smith Stem teacher Read full review

Return on Investment	Autodesk I should definitely say that Tinkercad has no negative impact on my business. It shortened my 3d design process for my many simple projects. Tinkercad is a free tool, no investment needed. I suggest it to my customers who don't know 3d design, but desperately needs a 3d file for their projects. Oral Tosun Business Owner Read full review
