Tinkercad

Introduction

SwiftXR is a powerful platform for creating and sharing interactive 3D, Augmented Reality (AR), and Virtual Reality (VR) experiences on the web. With SwiftXR, you can import your Tinkercad designs and view them in 3D, AR, or VR, allowing you to interact with your creations and even copy an embed code to use them on your website

Step by Step

1. Export Design

• Once your design is complete, click on the “Export” button

• Under the “include” option, select “Everything in the design.”

• In the “For 3D print” section, choose the “GLTF(.glb)” format.

This ensures that your design is exported in the correct format and configuration making it suitable for integration into 3D, AR or VR experiences

Creating a Project in SwiftXR

Before starting, ensure you have a SwiftXR account

• Navigate to SwiftXR Hub
