    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.

    Corel's support has always been outstanding. Technical support is always available to assist with installation and licensing issues and there is generally additional free assistance for a time period after purchase. Corel also offers online tutorials and other self-help resources. Ongoing and available support is one of the outstanding features Corel has always provided.

    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.

    Compared to the big companies like solid works or Solid Edge for 3D modeling, it has most of the basic tools and it is easier to use. It has more tools than some of the smaller companies but still provides the versatility of large brand-name software. CorelCAD offers an attractive alternative for those on a tight budget.

    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.

    • CorelCAD easily pays for itself even when not a primary product.
    • Due to its similarity to AutoCAD, it's a reasonable solution with a shortened learning curve for existing AutoCAD users.
