Tinkercad Sim Lab is a new STEAM feature in Tinkercad (since March 2023), that allows you to experiment with different layouts, materials, physics laws (e.g. gravity, forces, etc), and have fun while creating simulations. Any 3D design can be put into motion i.e. become movable and interact dynamically with other 3D objects, or you can …

The emergence of 3D printing technology has brought about a paradigm shift in the way we manufacture products. This innovative technology has the potential to transform various industries, from healthcare and manufacturing to aerospace and architecture. It is an important technology with a wide range of applications across various industries. However, little has been developed …

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is one of the fastest-developing manufacturing technologies in the world. It is a process of layer-by-layer material deposition to produce parts from 3D models. 3D printing has proven its effectiveness, especially in low-volume, high-customisation sectors such as aerospace for a variety of reasons. In this article, we …

3D scanning allows us to capture real-world objects in a digital format, which can be used for various applications such as virtual reality, product design, and 3D printing. This process lets us identify the exact shape and appearance of objects. There are different types of 3D scanners and 3D scanning technologies. Some are suitable for …
