Design and simulate 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

CAD to CAM 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.

Prototypes with mechanisms: robotics and automation

Tinkercad Sim Lab allows {{ }} based digital testing of CAD models.

What is the area called where a simulation happens?

What variables can be changed on an axle connector continuous motor?

Model {{ }} can be traced to compare the performance of different materials when simulating.

allows parts to rotate around another, like a wheel on an axle

allows parts to rotate around a fixed point, like a door on a hinge

allows parts to move back and forth in a straight line, like a drawer

What should you do to ensure a part spins on centre when using an axle connector?

When adding connectors in your model, you might want certain parts to not move and be ...

The pivot connector relies on two parts, one static and the other ...
