“We’re as excited as Kai and his team,” said Mary Hope McQuiston, marketing director for Autodesk’s consumer group. “We are excited to have reached an agreement with Autodesk that will provide a solid home and bright future for Tinkercad,” said Tinkercad founder Kai Backman, currently CEO of Airstone Labs. Tinkercad will continue to support 3D printing integration with Shapeways, i.Materialise, Sculpteo, and Ponoko. These options were previously available only to paid accounts. Freeloaders will even have access to shape-scripting tools for generating 3D models parametrically. In its place, Tinkercad morphed into Airstone, a 3D software company geared to the professional engineer.īut as of 1pm today, Tinkercad is back in business and reopened to new accounts that will be even more robust than before.įree accounts will now have access to store unlimited numbers of models, and to import 3D meshes in STL format and 2D files in SVG format for editing within Tinkercad.
New accounts were frozen, and old accounts were to be phased out. Tinkercad shut down in March to the disappointment of many makers who appreciate its simplicity and ease of use for creating 3D models in the cloud. Tinkercad is back - and it’s even better.Īutodesk announced today they’ve signed a deal to acquire Tinkercad and revive the popular web-based 3D design tool and its growing community of makers and educators.
