About Us
At TinkerTrace, we believe ideas should be built—not buried under complexity. We exist to unlock your creative potential with tools like FreeCAD for 3D print, STL modeling tool free, and open source STL editor. Join a community of modern makers who turn models into matter.
How we started
TinkerTrace is a resource hub and publishing platform for anyone who wants to explore CAD for Makers and design 3D models for printing.
We started as a passion project and grew into a trusted space for tutorials, experiments, and open source CAD 3D printing tools.
Our readers range from students to small business owners—united by the belief that digital design should lead to real creation.
We write the guides we wish we had when we started—focused, friendly, and free.
Our goal is to demystify the design process and support every step of your maker journey.
Our Mission
We aim to empower creators to move from sketch to screen to solid object—on their own terms.
We support open source ecosystems like FreeCAD for 3D print to foster innovation without gatekeeping.
We believe in knowledge that’s accessible, tools that are free, and guides that are genuinely useful.
We create content with makers in mind—from STL CAD Software reviews to hands-on FreeCAD walkthroughs.
Ultimately, our mission is to help you design 3D models for printing that solve problems, spark joy, and build the future.
