The decision was made in order to focus engineering resources on Airstone, the company’s new interactive simulation product. Last month, Tinkercad Founder and CEO Kai Backman revealed that the two-year-old service would close in a phased initiative culminating in a Jswitch off. The software takes a focus on helping to create ‘fun and meaningful’ things using 3D printers - which, of course, are a hotly talked about topic today.Īutodesk says it will add the service to its existing 123D family of apps and services which, like Tinkercad, are designed to remove hurdles that put non-techies off of using CAD software. It will also integrate elements of the Tinkercard technology across its 123D range, to help simply the services for users. Tinkercad’s tag line is ‘mind to design in minutes’ and the browser-based 3D modeling removes technical barriers to allow anyone - designers and non-designers alike - to create prototype designs or professional-looking renders. ![]() The deal secures the long-term future of the Web-based 3D modeling tool less than one month after its founders announced plans to close it. Autodesk is doubling down on easy-to-use 3D design software after it announced the acquisition of Tinkercad for an undisclosed sum.
