With Tinkercad you can design real things that come out of the 3D printer, into your life. You don’t need any previous design expertise.
Just open the browser and start creating! Share your designs with friends and explore things made by other makers. 3D print things on your own printer or order things delivered to your doorstep by high quality 3D printing services.

Tinkercad
http://tinkercad.com/
Tinkercad is a new and faster way of creating designs for your 3D printer.
With the help of the latest web technology you can now use a solid modeling CAD directly in your browser.
The user interface is designed to get things done fast and to be quick to learn. With only three basic tools you can create a wide range of useful things. Once your project is ready simply download the STL file and start your 3D print. Sign up for a free account now!
Once you have made something cool in Tinkercad you should share it with your friends.
Sharing a Tinkercad project is simple just copy the address you see in your browser. This address is called a permalink, that means it will always point to the specific object you see on the screen.
Tinkercad lets you export your projects in the industry standard STL file format. This format was developed specifically for 3D printers and is accepted universally by different printer software and printing services.

Build Anything with MakerBot 3D Printer (Video)
The device is a 3D printer that allows users to make just about anything they want.
First, users create a design in any 3D modeling software or by visiting Thingiverse, which is a community of people who share their designs.
After a design is created, MakerBot turns the design into a physical 3D model and the machine starts printing.
The objects are made with ABS plastic and can be up to 4″x4″x6″.

Google SketchUp Pro 6
An intuitive user interface makes SketchUp Pro much easier to learn than other 3D modeling software you may have tried – most people get up and running in a couple of hours. Video tutorials, an extensive Help Center and weekly web demos mean that anyone who wants to make 3D models with SketchUp, can. Additionally, Google SketchUp Pro 6 users have access to email technical support, so help is never far away.
No software is an island. You can continue to use SketchUp with your favorite software programs. SketchUp Pro 6 imports and exports both DXF and DWG. It also exports 3DS, OBJ, XSI, FBX, (take a breath), EPS, PDF, VRML, EPX, DAE and KMZ. No matter what subset of the alphabet your favorite software prefers, chances are you can use it with SketchUp Pro 6.
Download a trial of SketchUp Pro 6. You'll have access to the full power of SketchUp Pro 6 (including LayOut) for eight hours of use. Here's a hint: the trial only counts the time you have SketchUp Pro running, so shut it down to conserve your minutes.
