If you can dream it, you can create it--using Tinkercad. This free tool gives everyone the power to create 3D models, regardless of your level of experience. With the help of Tinkercad For Dummies, you'll have the knowledge you need to plan your designs, the know-how to utilize the platform's drag-and-drop tools to create your design, and the information you need to print or export your designs to use them elsewhere.
Tinkercad is for everyone! It's simple enough to be used by kids and students, but robust enough that an adult could use it to create a complex product prototype. With more than 4 million designs posted in the Tinkercad community, the platform is also popular with teachers around the world. Why not join in on the fun?

There aren't many books about this topic, and Tinkercad doesn't offer much documentation, so this is a good starting point for those who like to learn by reading rather than videos or trial-and-error. Most of it is hands-on, and doesn't require any software or tools other than Tinkercad, so anyone with a computer can follow along.
On the down side, the book is strictly for beginners, and doesn't show how to make complicated designs. Having already gone through the Lessons and Projects sections of the Tinkercad site, I didn't learn much new material from this book.
