Overall Satisfaction with Autodesk Tinkercad

Tinkercad is a great tool for simplistic design. It is perfect for anyone without a CAD background with a simple and intuitive interface. I've used this to make simplistic objects that were then easily exported for 3D printing. This is also great for kids as sort of a first CAD program.
  • Intuitive Design
  • Make 3D printing files
  • Learn basic CAD skills
  • Best for simple parts
  • Seems more of a toy compared to more professional software
  • Hard to tell measurements sometimes
  • Great Price
  • Easy to use
  • Easy to export
  • Doesn't require a lot of training
  • Fast design
  • Fun
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 college courses about SOLIDWORKS)!

The price is right and the capabilities are great. As long as it does everything you need then go for it. It's not a simulator or great for complex parts, but if you have no CAD background, but want to make a 3D object to be printed this is about as easy as it's gonna get.
