Top Rated Tinkercad Alternatives
Tinkercad is a very complete web-based software for 3D modeling. It is super easy to use and understand, and you can create very complex 3D shapes by combining basic shapes.
I also like all the different shape generators that let you create complex geometries by just changing parameters. At first view, it seems like it is software just for kids, but if you try it, you will find that it is a powerful software to 3D model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is hard to find something that I don't like about Tinkercad, but what I would like it to have is that it could be awesome if it lets you change the accurate dimensions of a shape when you have rotated. Currently, it allows you to change the dimensions after you have rotated a shape, but no longer allows you to modify the size of the original width or height, instead of that the measurements it presents are those of the entire object in space and is difficult when you have to modify something accurately, and it is already rotated.

The selection of electronic and electrical components as well as the ability to simulate Arduino code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not as many components as Fritzing though this is overcome by the simulation ability. Student work organization is messy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Starting out with Tinkercad, I found it super easy to create and implement 3D designs. The drag-and-drop tools made it a breeze to build whatever I imagined. Plus, the interface is so friendly—I quickly got the hang of shape generators and text tools. And when I got stuck, the tutorials and community were there to guide me through, helping me learn the ropes of 3D printing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I did not like the limited complexity of designs I could create, some of the tools were too basic for my needs. Also some hardware components were missing which led to some incomplete circuit designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has a simulation enviroment for physics and electronics. It makes learning great and interactive. Great for exporting 3D printing files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its totally hosted on the cloud which is great, but also bad for areas with
poor network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use. I like the graphics, the simulation of the established circuit's operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to implement, although it looks very sophisticated, it should incorporate more visual aid elements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I accidentally discovered TinkerCAD on a 3D printing forum. I was immediately blown away by how easy it was to setup the account and get started. It stores designs on the cloud which can be accessed from anywhere. The tool are simple and intuitive to access. You can even import files from other softwares and incorporate into your own design. Specially for regular 3D printing folks its a everyday tool that cannot be looked over, its literally like making LEGOs. Its fun to use, and is functional. If you get stuck, there's also a very nice forum with a very nice community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For some applications it is too simple, some of the tools that you might need for advanced stuff is missing too. I use it regularly so I sometimes have to contact support, but the response is not always great. But its free. I can live with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tinkercad satisfies all your requirements when it comes to Arduino Programming. It is so simple to use and provides all the components that you would need to make your circuit. The interface is smooth and user friendly. You can create basic to complex circuits in Tinkercad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's not much to be disliked in Tinkercad but, there could be more types of sensors included in the components. They can also add new types of Arduino being made in their collection to increase variability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like about TinkerCad is that I can simulate the code and compontents of the Arduino without implementing it on the physical way. We can test the functions and the circuits by the simulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I dislike about Tinkercad is that other hardware components are not found in the tools and equipments, which ultimatly lead to not finising the Circuits and Design Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As an Audio Teaching Assistant, I use Tinkercad to create visual interpretations of audio product ideas that spring-to-mind, such as speaker designs. Having initially been introduced to Tinkercad during my higher education, I have continued to use it through my current work. As an online CAD program for 3D design, Tinkercad is incredibly easy-to-use, and is free-of-charge.
Tinkercad allows you to model both simple and more complex designs, of which, can then be downloaded for 3D printing (.STL or .OBJ) or laser cutting (.SVG). Tinkercad also gives you the abilty to draw circuits, as well as join online classrooms, these of which are further excellent features - making Tinkercad great for a learning environment, and a great introduction to the world of CAD.

When working on product design using Tinkercad, maneuvering around the 3D model and precisely placing shapes to the correct dimensions can be quite challenging at first. Therefore, it can take a while to get used to the interface for 3D modelling. Although, once familiar with the software, it is very fun to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We really liked its easy and straightforward handling since for someone with little experience in design and preparation for 3D printing, it is very easy. It works very well for making geometric pieces that are not very complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For us, it is very basic, we believe it lacks more tools to be more professional, for an advanced level it falls short. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My experience with Tinkercad has been wonderful. It is an intuitive and easy-to-use tool, which saves time and is excellent for beginners. Its extensive library of shapes and complex designs allows for streamlining the creation of designs, especially circuits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really don't have specific areas of opportunity regarding Tinkercad. However, I think its user interface could be mentioned, which from my perspective is somewhat outdated, making it feel strange to design at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
