Exporting Objects from Tinkercad
Tinkercad by Autodesk is a free, easy-to-use online program used by teachers, students, hobbyists, and designers to imagine, design, and make anything! In this article, we will show you how you can export your 3D objects from Tinkercad and send directly to Merge 3D.
Step 1 - Sign-in to Tinkercad
- Go to https://www.tinkercad.com/
- Tap the “Sign In” button to sign into your Tinkercad account. If you don't have a Tinkercad account, tap “Join Now” to create one.
- Hover over the 3D Object you want to Export and tap “Tinker this” to open the object
- If you have not yet created your object, tap “Create new design”
- If you're new to Tinkercad, check out the tutorials at https://www.tinkercad.com/learn to get started creating your object!
Sign into your account on dashboard.merge3d.ai and tap the "Uploader" web app icon under "apps".
Tap the "Send to" button in the upper right hand corner, then select the Merge 3D logo. Then tap "Continue to Merge 3D" on the pop up. You will automatically be redirected to the Merge 3D Uploader page.
Your object will begin uploading automatically. When it's done, tap "View Upload." From there, you can interact with your 3D model, edit object details, create a learning module, or share with others!
