There is a tutorial for new users that we highly recommend going through because it will give you a thorough introduction on how to use Tinkercad’s different functions. If you’d like to learn more after the tutorial, or you need a refresher on how it works, there is a section on the website titled “Learn”, and the lessons there will guide you further.
We hope you’ll register for one of our virtual 3D print classes, and put your Tinkercad skills to work!
