Business Wire
Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) announced the launch of
Tinkerplay, a free* app designed for kids of all ages that
introduces creative play through 3D design and 3D printing.
The Tinkerplay app is based on the popular Modio app, which
Autodesk previously acquired, and will join the Tinkercad family of
products. The Tinkerplay app allows users to design and customize
characters and creatures digitally with the option to 3D print
afterwards. The 3D printed parts can also be snapped together for
dynamic play. With this launch, new parts, features and
functionality have been added to make the world of 3D design
simple, fun and engaging.
“Creators, designers and makers from ages five to ninety, have
blown us away with their passion for 3D modeling and 3D printing,”
said Samir Hanna, vice president and general manager, Autodesk
Consumer and 3D Printing. “With Tinkerplay, we’re providing another
great tool designed for kids of all ages who want to play, create
and tinker.”
The Tinkerplay app lets users quickly get started by dragging
and dropping interchangeable parts to make custom creations. The
parts are optimized for 3D printing as fully poseable characters
and creatures, and are designed to not require rafting or support
material to print. The print function within the app shows the
layout of parts for 3D printing and provides an easy way to export
print files to a variety of 3D printers.
For users that are inspired to take their design skills one step
further to create completely new parts, Tinkerplay connectors can
be found in the Tinkercad web app. Autodesk has launched Tinkerplay
simultaneously on various mobile platforms including iOS, Android,
Windows and Windows phones to better provide users with access on
their device of choice. The Tinkerplay app can be downloaded for
free* from the App Store, Google Play or the Windows Store for
Windows 8.1 users.
