Tinkercad Foundation
Master the basics of 3D modeling
Step 1: Basic Primitives
Model a simple cube with rounded edges (e.g., a dice). Add measurements for scale.
Step 2: Alignment & Grouping
Create a basic shelf bracket by aligning and grouping rectangles and cylinders.
Step 3: Subtraction (Holes)
Design a phone stand with cutouts for cablesβsubtract cylinders from a base shape.
Step 4: Addition & Union
Build a keychain by unioning a ring (cylinder hole) with a custom shape like a star.
Step 5: Text Integration
Add embossed text to a nameplate (e.g., "Shalom's Desk").
Step 6: Simple Symmetry
Model a symmetric vase using mirror tools on half a shape.
Step 7: Basic Scaling & Proportions
Create a scaled-down toy car body, ensuring wheels fit proportionally.
Step 8: Multi-Part Assemblies
Design a simple puzzle piece that interlocks with another (print two and test).
Step 9: Curves & Basic Shapes
Model a curved handle for a mug or tool using Tinkercad's shape tools.
Step 10: Basic Patterns & Textures
Create a coaster with debossed patterns using Tinkercad shapes.
Step 11: Supports & Structural Design
Design a bridge-like structure with built-in supports.
Step 12: Color Planning (Design)
Model a two-color key fob (design parts for conceptual separation).
Step 13: Remix & Iteration
Remix Step 1's dice into a functional holder (e.g., for pens).
Step 14: Complex Assemblies
Design a multi-piece assembly like a simple toy or gadget.
Step 15: Tinkercad Mastery Project
Create a complete functional item (e.g., phone stand, desk organizer, or custom tool).
