If you have a 3D printer and you have children at home, surely the idea of creating a toy has occurred to them, but neither they nor you have known how to do it.
Now this possibility becomes easy thanks to tinkerplaya android application with which we can create characters in three dimensions, in a very simple way.
This app is designed to be used by children, so with a Android mobile and a little time, you will be able to create things that might seem unthinkable to us, such as à la carte toys.
Tinkerplay, the ideal app to create 3D toys
