2 OVERVIEW

2.1 Description
TinkerCAD is a web based program using chrome browser as its desktop. The TinkerCAD 3D CAD
program is an object based CAD program. 3D objects are created by adding and subtracting space
with pre-defined objects.

TinkerCAD has the ability to generate “stl” files that are used by a 3D printer slicing program to
generate G-Code to run the 3D printer.

2.2 3D Printing Process Steps

To print a 3D object the following steps are taken:
1. Make a 3D model and save the the model in a “objectName.stl” file
2. Load the “objectName.stl” file into a slicing program that sets up printer parameters and
slices the 3D object for the printer to print the layer slices. The Slicer program generates G-
Codes to do this.
3. The G-Code file is saved on a memory stick and is placed in the 3D printer to print the 3D
object from the G-Code instructions.

3 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

3.1 Getting Started

1. Start Chrome Browser on your computer
2. Go to the URL tinkercad.com on your internet browser
3. If you don’t have a TinkerCAD user account, Sign-up for one for free using the sign up
4. If you have a TinkerCAD user account click on the Sign-in button at the top right
corner of the web page

3.2 Mouse Usage

Left Button: Used to select
Left Button + Alt and drag: duplicates object and moves it

Right Button: Used to turn model

Right Button + shift: move in a straight line

Scroll: Used to zoom

Scroll Button: Pans the work area

3.3 Some TinkerCAD Process Steps

1. To add shapes, letters and numbers drag your desired selection from the palette to the right
to the workplane.
2. You can raise the height of your form by dragging the Node (white square on top), which is
right below the up arrow (black cone)
3. Dragging the corner point while holding shift will increase the X, Y and Z axis equally
4. To build on the side of an object, drag the workplane to that side
5. You can rotate how objects sit on the plane to give them new angles. This is done with the
curved arrow
6. You can copy and paste your forms using the standard keyboard commands (Ctrl + C & Ctrl +
V) When you paste, TInkerCAD will move your new form to the right:
7. When you want to remove the hole shape, drag your cursor over both objects to select them
(or Shift + Left Click)

3.4 Keyboard Shortcuts

3.4.1 Control Key Plus

1. Cntrl - c: copy
2. Cntrl – v: paste
3. Cntrl – z: undo
4. Cntrl – Shift – z: redo
5. Cntrl – g: group
6. Cntrl – Shift – g: ungroup
7. Cntrl – d: duplicate inplace
8. Cntrl – L lock
9. Cntrl – a: select all

3.4.2 Alt Key Plus

1. Alt – move: hold alt key while starting to move will duplicate object

3.4.3 Shift Key Plus

1. Shift – Right mouse button: hold shift to pan view
2. Shfit – while moving: hold shift key while moving object to move in a straight line
3. Shift – Control – Left mouse button: hold shift-control to pan
4. Shift – Alt – left mouse button on a corner white dot: hold shift, alt while selecting a corner
and move. This scales the object the same amount in all directions
5. Shift – while rotating: select object rotate symbol: will rotate object in 45 deg increments
