ToyCAD turns your child's drawings into real 3D-printed toys. A kid-friendly 3D design app for iPad, Android and the web
About
ToyCAD makes 3D design approachable by starting with something every child already understands: drawing. Its split-screen workspace lets users scribble with a brush in 2D and instantly watch ToyCAD turn the drawing into a smooth 3D shape. Kids can add colors, draw directly on objects, combine shapes, and use beginner-friendly building tools—then export their creations for multicolor 3D printing. No account is needed to start exploring.
Fact Sheet
Discussion
Starting 3D design from a 2D scribble that instantly becomes a smooth shape is such a natural entry point for kids. Drawing directly on objects and combining shapes keeps it playful while quietly teaching how 3D modeling works.
