The program's features were merged into Tinkercad. In May, Autodesk discontinued its 123D Circuits (Circuits.io) 'Electronics Lab'. In March 2017, Autodesk recommended users of the soon-to-be-retired 123D Sculpt migrate to Tinkercad (or Maya LT). In May 2013, Autodesk announced at a Maker Faire that they would acquire Tinkercad. By 2012, over 100,000 3D designs had been published by users. In 2011, the website was launched as a web-based 3D modeling tool for WebGL-enabled browsers, and in 2012 the company moved its headquarters to San Francisco. Tinkercad was founded by former Google engineer Kai Backman and his cofounder Mikko Mononen, with a goal to make 3D modeling, especially the design of physical items, accessible to the general public, and allow users to publish their designs under a Creative Commons license. Since it became available in 2011 it has become a popular platform for creating models for 3D printing as well as an entry-level introduction to constructive solid geometry in schools. Tinkercad is a free-of-charge, online 3D modeling program that runs in a web browser.
