CAD to CAM in Tinkercad

Design and technology

Paper and boards properties, sources and stock forms

3D Modelling in Tinkercad

Modelling and assembling complex shapes in Tinkercad

Movement with mechanisms

Model a moving part in Tinkercad

Design and simulate in Tinkercad

CAM, automation and laser cutting

Pupils will model with paper and boards and learn about sources and stock forms.  They will develop 3D computer-aided design knowledge and skills, applying this by designing and simulating mechanical systems using TinkerCAD.
