As an avid user of Tinkercad I still found this book very helpful for my personal use and for use with my students as well! This book does so much more than walk you through step by step directions on how to make an object. The author does a great job on explaining real-world design and problem skills as it pertains to Tinkercad.However, this book is also a great introduction for those who have never used Tinkercad before. The book is structured in a way that allows even beginners to understand Tinkercad!Whether you have used Tinkercad before or not, I highly recommend this book to all! It is a great introduction or a resource to continue to push your thinking and skills around 3D modeling!

I’ve been dabbling in basic 3D modeling with Tinkercad as a side hobby for a couple of years, and this book has truly elevated my skills. Not only did it help me fully understand the tools Tinkercad has to offer, but it also enabled me to create more impressive projects and deepened my ability to think in three dimensions. The author excels at breaking down complex concepts, particularly when it comes to designing models tailored for 3D printing. I only wish I had found this book sooner—it would have fast-tracked my path to becoming a power user!

Anna H. Oct 18, 2024

I’ve been teaching with Tinkercad for a number of years and this is the first book that actually feels different from all the rest. Most Tinkercad books just show the same projects, like making a keychain or a basic toy. I was really impressed that Taking Tinkercad to the Next Level actually shows you how to become an effective designer. I don’t think this book is only for schools, anyone who wants to learn how to design and 3D print would benefit, but I found it to be in line with excellent educational practices and even though I’ve been doing this for a while, I learned a lot too!

I absolutely love this book, and it stands out as probably the most engaging walk-through I've come across recently. The section on building a catapult was especially impressive. It provided clear, step-by-step instructions and made it as straightforward as possible to have a quality output. The author did a fantastic job of balancing technical detail with accessibility, making it perfect for both beginners and more experienced hobbyists. The illustrations and diagrams were top notch. Overall, a must-buy for anyone interested in Tinkercad!

Andrew A. Pinto Jr. Oct 03, 2024

I have always been interested in 3D printing. A few months ago, I came across Jason Erdreich YouTube page (@MrErdeich) Mr. E's Digital Classroom. Through his videos I was able to see/learn first-hand how to create some pretty awesome items through 3D printing. Which also introduced me to Tinkercad design program. While the videos and tutorials he shares online are great, I'm old school and like the information in a hard form copy. This book he published was exactly what I was looking for in a hard copy. The way he was able to break down concepts by providing real world applications really is helping me understand Tinkercad design. Which now is starting to help me connect my missing dots and really understand how to create some cool 3D models. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in this field regardless of skill/knowledge level. This is the type of book you buy and will grow with you as you grow in 3D modeling.
