Tinkercad
Using Tinkercad students can make or import three dimensional shapes, then manipulate, edit and group shapes to create their own 3D models. Tinkercad allows students to export their shape to Minecraft or into formats compatible for 3D printing or laser cutting. Students can create and share their designs online, and build on designs from the community-created resource bank.
